Turn off Capslock and/or Numlock indicator Lenovo

For all users wanting to turn the on-screen Capslock or Numlock indicator, when pressing the key, off.

When I wanted to turn it off, it took me hours to figure out how, and the online solutions are wrong if you only want to turn off the on-screen indicator and only that. So the easiest way, and how it was intended, is as followed:

1 Open Vantage

2 Click on "Device" (top right corner)

3 Click on "Power" (below "CPU", in the "System Tools" section). This opens "My Smart Settings", which was for me the only way to open these settings. Very confusing.

4 Click on "the "Input & Accessories" tab (below "My Smart Settings" header).

5 At the bottom of the page toggle Capslock or Numlock OSD on or off.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, and Bob's your uncle (except when your uncle isn't Bob, then he is not).

    Hi MrStevenField,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Thanks for your sharing.

    Windows itself does not integrate CapsLock or NumLock indicators that contain visual effects.

    Therefore, in most cases, the status indication of such keys is realized by non-Microsoft software (mostly pre-installed by vendors) and may vary depending on the vendor, one of the cases being the Lenovo Vantage you shared.

    Just as additional information for general troubleshooting ideas, a clean boot, safe mode, or new local account can be used to narrow down and analyze whether a phenomenon/problem is affected by third-party software/services.

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Thanks for your patience and cooperation.

    Best Regards,
