Annoying Cap Lock Icon

Published:

Updated:

If you have an HP computer with Windows 11 and you suddenly start getting a caps lock icon on your screen for no reason every time you press the Caps Lock key on your keyboard, and you can't get rid of it. Well, it is not a Windows issue. It is an HP install. Here is how to get rid of it. I started getting the icon this afternoon and this works.  https://www.reddit.com/r/computers/comments/1cc0jwy/disable_caps_lock_notification_windows_11hp/

In my case I clicked the start button, then settings, then apps, installed apps, scrolled down to HP System Event Utility, then uninstalled it. It was only installed today, so that was the cause.

Win 11 can go to hell.

I still use W-10. I get prompts to install W-11, but really never saw a need to.
Seeing this, glad I haven't changed.

This was NOT a Windows issue.
Hewlett Packard installed the HP System Event Utility and that is what caused the problem. From what I've learned the SEU is also on Windows 10 systems too. From the replies on the link above this happened out the blue to a lot of HP computers. Apparently it was due to an SEU update install.
What is HP System Utility Event?
The HP System Event Utility is an essential component of HP computers that manages system events and ensures the proper functioning of hardware-related actions. It runs in the background, allowing your system to recognize and respond to button presses, hotkeys, and other hardware-related events.  Jun 30, 2023

I get it isn't Win 11, the garbage TPM requirement is bu11s**t to upgrade to Win11, they literally are trying to obsolete billions of computers. I have many computers more than enough power to run 11 but no TPM......Trusted Platform Module.

There is a workaround of course but with caveats.
