How to Turn Off Caps Lock Notification: 4 Easy Ways

Here’s how to turn off the Caps Lock notification so you no longer get a pop-up whenever you press this key.

Turning it off doesn’t affect the key’s functionality in any way, it just prevents constant, and frankly annoying pop-ups.

How can I turn off the Caps Lock notification on my PC?

First of all, try turning off background apps on your PC, run a virus scan, and restart in safe mode. If you’re still having issues, keep reading:

1. Tweak keyboard settings

1. Press Windows + R key to open the Run dialog box, type control, then press Enter to open the Control Panel.
2. Click on the View by drop-down button and select Large icons from the options. Next, find and select the Keyboard.
3. Select the Key settings tab.
4. Double-click the Caps Lock, then uncheck the Display caps lock on-screen option.
5. Close the Control Panel and restart your PC to check if the Caps Lock On notification appears.

2. Edit the Display adapter properties

1. Left-click the Start button, type View advanced display info, and open it from the best match.
2. Under Display information, click on the Display adapter properties for Display 1.
3. Select the Screen configuration tab, then uncheck Enable on-screen display option.
4. Restart your PC and click the Caps Lock button to see if its notification appears.

Preventing the Display adapter from allowing on-screen display will stop the keyboard from using the feature to notify you.

3. Use Windows Settings

1. Press Windows + R key to open the Run dialog box, type ms-settings:easeofaccess-keyboard, and press OK.
2. Toggle Off the Play a sound whenever you press Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock option.
3. Reboot the PC and check if the issue persists.

The above steps disable the notification and sound when you click the Caps Lock button. In addition, you may refer to our fix for the Windows key not working on Windows 11.

4. Via the Control Panel

1. Press the Window + R keys to launch Run, and type control access.cpl, then click OK.
2. Scroll down and click on Make it easier to focus on tasks.
3. Navigate to Adjust time limits and flashing visuals tab, then check the box for the Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible) option.
4. Restart the computer and click the Caps Lock button to check if the notification appears.

Turning off unnecessary animation will prevent devices and peripherals from prompting notifications on the system.
