Each of us has accidentally pressed the “Caps Lock” key or the “Num Lock” key at some point. You then enter a password and wonder why it doesn’t work. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the status of your Caps Lock and Num Lock keys at a glance?
Fortunately, Windows 10 provides a way to turn on audio and visual notifications when you activate the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys so that you can turn them off immediately if you press them by mistake. If you need a better visual display (like the one in the image above), you’ll need to use the software provided by your PC manufacturer (scroll down to learn more).
