If you’re experiencing problems with your computer’s caps lock key, there may be a problem with the keyboard itself. If the noise is coming from the computer, it may be caused by a loose or broken key. If the noise is coming from the keyboard, it may be caused by dirt or debris getting inside of the keyboard. In either case, you can try cleaning out any debris or cleaning the keyboard with a damp cloth. If that doesn’t solve the problem, you may need to replace your keyboard. ..
This feature is a standard accessibility feature, which can actually be somewhat useful if you want to be notified when you accidentally press your caps lock key.
Of course, it’s much simpler to just disable your caps lock key entirely if you don’t use it.
Disable or Enable Toggle Keys in Vista
Open up Control Panel and then navigate to the Ease of Access Center. You should see a link for “Make the keyboard easier to use”, which you will want to click.
If you scroll down a bit you’ll find the setting for “Turn on Toggle Keys”, which you should make sure is completely unchecked if you want this feature disabled. Once you are done, click the Save or Apply buttons.
Of course, if you want to enable this feature, you’d just check the box. But you knew that.
Disable or Enable Toggle Keys in XP
Open up Control Panel and then choose the “Accessibility Options” icon, usually in the upper left hand side if you are using the classic view.
Or if you are using the category view, you can find it here:
Once you have the Accessibility Options dialog open, you should make sure that “Use ToggleKeys” is unchecked.
Naturally, if you wanted to enable the feature, you would check the box instead.
