I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

More repliesGood Day Please can you help me. I have an ideapd z580 and recently noticed that I'm unable to determine whether my num lock or caps lock is on. There used to be an icon indicator but not anymore and I don't know why. I also tried to go on to advanced settings (under screen resolution) and I noticed that I don't have the "on-screen display tab". What can i do?
Hi jarryd,
Welcome to the community,
This should be fixed easily by installing the latest version of the power management driver.
I am not sure what machine you have so you can find it at our support site:
support.lenovo.com
box next to toggle keys to indicate caps lock on is ticked and still not working???
I don't know how to resolve your problem, but as a non touch typist, a free piece of software called Boldfinger has been invaluable to me. It disables the Caps Lock key, so you can't accidentally press it - and then look up at the screen and find your last five minutes of typing is in upper case... :-( You have to do something like Ctrl+Caps Lock or Alt+Caps Lock if you really want Caps Lock on.
2 more repliesSporting Windows XP (32-bit) on my T530 and as of recently, Caps Lock indicator has stopped working. Mute, Volume, Screen Brightness indicators are working as per usual, only CL indicator is not working anymore. Tried upgrading Lenovo Hotkey Features, rebooted but still no go. Also, I can't remember where do I find settings for Caps Lock indicator? IIRC, it should be somewhere in Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/OSD, but it disappeared. I can only enable/disable OSD, adjust fade-out time and background/foreground color(s). Options for Caps Lock indicator are missing. Anyone experiencing similar problems?

More repliesI have an x61t that when it locks for screen saver password and you have to CTRL ALT Delete the relog back on. the CAPS lock on the onscreen keyboard indicates on but it's not. 1. Log into the tablet.2. The screensaver would lock the tablet.3. Press Ctrl Alt Delete to get to the logon screen.4. The on screen keyboard would show the Caps Lock key as on but it wasn't. If they pressed the Caps Lock key it would then be on.5. The users don't press the Caps Lock key now, even though it is being displayed as on, and they can logon OK. I cannot recreate this problem on another X61tablet and this behaviour happens even when the notebook is in a docking station with an external keyboard. anybody seen this error before?
More repliesThe most recent build (9860) of the Windows 10 Technical Preview was released on October 21 - but earlier today, Microsoft teased a new build on the way. We said it might arrive today, and indeed it has, as the company has confirmed that build 9879 is now being pushed out.
You can get the latest version of Windows 10 by going to Windows Update and checking for the updates within that panel. If you need more detailed instructions, you can find them here.
Now, Microsoft does point out that there are some known problems with the new build. The company says that "as with the last build, you're getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues". These include:
In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
Fixes for the first two issues in that list will be coming via Windows Update "shortly", according to Microsoft, but the remaining issues will not be resolved immediately.
One feature that is likely to be popular in 9879 is the ability to hide the Search... Read more
Windows 10 enterprise ISO of build 9879 now available
Microsoft released a new build of Windows 10 earlier this week and if you are wanting to use the ISO files to perform a clean install, you can now do so for the enterprise SKU.
If you head to the source link at the bottom of this page, you will be able to download the build 9879, but you will have to fill out some profile information first. There are a few languages available that include, English, English (Great Britain), Chinese (simplified) and Portuguese.
These ISO files make it easy to install the latest version of the technical preview from a clean slate so you do not have to jump through the upgrade hoops to acquire the latest builds.
If you have installed 9879, let us know how it is working for you and if you find anything new, make sure to send us a tip.

How do I remove the Caps and Num Lock indictor for a Lenovo G50, that is running Windows 10?
Hi Thisismyname01 ,
Welcome to the Community Forums.
On a similar G50 , this was resolved by uninstalling Energy Management .
Another steps that was advised :
1. Opening Control Panel >Program and Features>Uninstall a Program and look for Caps OSD or Lenovo OSD
2. On the display properties of the graphic card , you may also configure to "Show indicator for a few seconds" .
3. Disable hotkeys from the BIOS ( but this may change all other usable hotkeys ) . Lets's reserve it a last option.
Update us what works for you.

More repliesThis post is regarding the indicators that pop up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen when caps lock or num lock are turned on and off. Every other person I've found with this problem has been advised to go to Screen Resolution --> Advanced Settings --> Enable onscreen display. However, when I try to do this, I don't have a tab for enabling onscreen display, or a button, or any such thing. (For ease, here's a screenshot: http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu272/Lentilshine/G780indicatorproblem_zps735b5936.png) I didn't hugely mind the indicator, only it's started causing one of the games I run to tab out Every. Single. Time. which is getting fairly annoying, given it's a social game and I learned to type with caps lock and not the shift keys. I've had a look under regedit and KeyIndicator is set to 0. Running Windows 7. Any help would be massively appreciated.

hi lepsylentil,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you check under Control Panel , Add / Remove Programs and see if you have anything that says Caps OSD or OSD.
If yes, Uninstall that.
You can also try uninstalling Lenovo Energy Management from Add remove programs.
See if those will take out the Onscreen Capslock Display.

Hi, i've been reading through an endless amount of forum threads to figure out how to remove this caps lock indicator and have not been able to fix my problem. It seems every solution in the control panel does not fit, and no matter how much i look in Registry Editor I can't find the right folders. I don't have the Widcomm folders. This is what I have tried. 1. unchecking any caps lock indication in the control panel.2. Looking through Registry Editor to delete/rename/alter files.3. Deleting and re-installing Lenovo Energy Manager. How is this problem fixed for me? I am running windows 10, and a rather new Lenovo Y50 laptop

2 more repliesOn they old keyboard, there was a dedicated green indicatory light on the key itself, which is missing on the keyboard. Now, I realize that the new keyboard affects all thinkpads alike, but the reason I'm posting this here is because my Thinkpad Edge (E530) has a dedicated numpad, thereby making me use the numlock much more often I am aware of the often-suggested windows 7 software-sided fix: screen resolution > advanced settings > on screen display However, the issue with this is that is that it groups the caps lock and numlock together. What if I want the numlock to be default on and NOT shown on-screen, but still wanted to be reminded on-screen if I [accidentally] have the caps lock on? Is there a solution to this or is this another problem that Lenovo overlooked when upgrading the keyboard?

Hey Gleipnir,
The only solutions is what you have said is the windows 7 and going into the on screen display and picking which of the two options works for you. It's unfortunate that with the removal of the light indicator for the caps lock and num lock have had a negative effect on your use of a thinkpad laptop. I wish there was more we could do, if you have any other questions please feel free to come back to the forums we are more then willing to help.

Hey everyone, is it possible to have a caps lock indicator like this on my PC? I tried installing Dell QuickSet to do it, but it's not compatible and I don't have indicators. Is it possible to have this on a Gateway PC?
There are several programs available to display a caps lock icon on the desktop. Try this one: NumCapsScroll Indicator - Software Informer
Quote:
On-screen real-time indicator showing the status of the ability to change the Keyboard Status of NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock through the application's panel.
NumCapsScroll Indicator monitors the keyboard status of the Num, Caps and Scroll Lock buttons and indicates it with the following ways:
1. In the System Tray with its icon.
2. With a tool-tip when you mouse-over its System Tray's icon.
3. With a small On-screen Keyboard-like panel.
I bought a new laptop, and would like to have an indicator that constantly shows whether caps lock is on or off, that would display on the screen or task bar. Currently, there is a tiny light on the caps lock button, but it's on the right hand side of the button, so it's not easily viewed unless I move my hand out of the way, and it also turns off when the light of the backlit keyboard goes out. Thanks.
More repliesWhen I hit Caps Lock, a display pops up in the lower right corner of the screen to notify me of the change. It looks like this: http://i55.tinypic.com/15xez9.png How do I stop this from happening? I've found a bunch of workarounds via Google, and they all either don't work for me or don't apply.
Looks like you have a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard. Easy way (if you don't use Bluetooth)Click Start.Type MSCONFIG.Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.Click Startup tab.Remove check marks from "Bluetooth Software" and/or "HP Desktop Keyboard".Restart computer. If you want to only shut down the little graphical presentation and you want to keep the bluetooth icon, use the steps above to prevent "HP Desktop Keyboard" from loading, but do not remove the checkmark next to bluetooth.And then prevent the OSD for the bluetooth caps lock indicator by making a minor change in the registry:Click Start.Type REGEDIT.Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.To backup your registry (in case soething goes haywire), select Computer, click File menu, click Export, give a name and save.After backing up registry, open each of the following registry values (the little folders) in this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE_\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\Double-click the value KeyIndication in the list on the right.Change the hex value from a one (1) TO A ZERO (0).Close the registry editor window and restart your computer.

Hi Littlewiz,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I?m really sorry to hear that on screen display is not working properly in your Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch after installing Windows 8.1 64-bit.
I would suggest you to install the latest version of Hotkey Features Integration for your machine.
Also, download the Power manager driver for your system from the below link and install it.
Support Drivers & Software downloads
Please click on "QUICK PATH" enter X1 Carbon and select the exact model depending on the MTM number of your device.
Do post back if issue persists even after trying the above steps.
Best regards,
Mithun

I've got a Yoga 11e running Windows 10 and like a lot of people I find the caps/num lock indicator popping up while typing sometimes quite annoying. However, because the keyboard doesn't have an inidicator that lights up when a user turns caps lock on or off I don't want to get rid of it entirely because it's useful. I just hate that it pops up right in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to move the indicator from the center of the screen to the far right or left? All of the threads I've seen only focus on turning it on or off.
More repliesHello all, Whenever I press the CapsLock key, there is no longer any notification on the screen regarding its status. I reinstalled the drivers for "Lenovo System Interface Driver" as well as "On Screen Display." The On Screen Display settings are checked. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Right-click the desktop, click Screen Resolution, click Advanced settings, On Screen Display tab. Give the options a toggle.Also try reinstlaling the Power Management driver.
2 more repliesHi, I have a Lenovo ideapad 100 and when i click either a. caps lock, b. num lock or c. scroll lock, an annoying square pops up at the bottom middle of my screen indicating that the caps lock is either on or off, same with the other buttons. I cannot find a solution online anywhere to figure out how to turn this off. I have gone into regedit, nothing there. I have gone into control panel > display and also settings > display and had a look at every single option, nothing. I have had a look at ease of access on control panel and settings, and there's nothing there, either. I am running Windows 10, if that's any help at all. Does anyone know how to turn this off? Thanks.
More repliesTHE "HP On-Screen Caps/Num/Scroll lock Indicator" shows up in Programs and Features, but the size cell is empty!! Indicator lost during a previous "fix" of an unrelated problem. HP states they can neither replace the file nor download the file contenets. What, Where, and How can I retrieve the indicator as I have a &[email protected]*+ remote keyboard? HELP!
khdphd
Hi, khdphd, and welcome to the forum....
They say they cannot download the file? I have always seen every HP that uses those hkCMD.exe files to be able to download them for that computer in the event of a reinstall.
Did you look at software available for download for your computer? If it is there, then you can download it, uninstall the current version, reboot and install that one and it should load the original files back in place.
Try uninstalling hkcmnd from Programs and Features (it may be named something a bit more fancy)
And I know what HP *said* - but look anyway.
Hello, guys. The indicator of the caps lock on the screen is missing, same with the num lock. I know that G470 does not have on screen display utility, but it used to show at least one little message in the right corner when caps lock and num lock were activated/deactivated. The volume and brightness indicator it's still working fine. Anyone knows how to fix it?? I've tried to go to Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings, but there is no tab named "On Screen Display", witch is correct, since there is no software. One mor question: is there a way to install the on screen display utility on the G470? Thanks, and sorry for any english mistakes, i'm from Brazil.
hi brunobera,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
It's weird that when doing Fn+ Brightness/Volume Up/Down, the on-screen animation works but not with the capslock/numlock as these are in one single feature. If they used to work before, have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the Lenovo Energy Management software? This is the utility that makes the hotkeys & indicators work.
Try this link:
Lenovo Energy Management v6.0.2.8 17 - Windows 7 32&64bit - 13.6MB
Let us know if you get any errors.
Cheers
Hi, I reset my x240 thinkpad laptop, during this process almost all my lenovo apps that were installed were deleted.My main issue is that the light indicator on the keyboard for the microphone is not working (the mute indicator is working) and the screen indicator for both CAPSLOCK and microphone is not showing.I would like your support to resolve this issue, I scanned "system update" through your web and downloaded the crucial drives that were missing but it is still not working and I also scanned my hardware - turned out clear.I am using windows 10 the latest version. Thank you for you help

Hi, I have a question. I bought yesterday notebook G50-45 for my father and there is installed Num Lock/Caps Lock indicator. Is there any way, how get that good indicators on my Lenovo G510? Why I want that? Because I haven't on my Num Lock small led diode which shows if it is enabled/disabled and G50-45 that diode have. ?
More repliesHi,I am bewildered by this - all of a sudden, at some point during my work today - the caps lock indicator is no longer showing on the screen (which I had it configured to do since there is no light on the keyboard <different rant>). Now I can't remember where I set that! I saw online somewhere that I should go to Control Panel / Display / Screen Resolution (of all the STUPID places) / Advanced Settings / On Screen Display. I have no such tab. I have a tab called Screen Configurations, but all it has is Foreground color, Background color, and Fadeout time, and a check box for Enable on-screen display, which is CHECKED. None of the other tabs have anything related to the caps lock (and num lock) notifications being on the screen. BTW: It also does not even BRIEFLY appear when I hit the caps lock... Anyone know what's going on? It will be really stupid if I have to reboot to fix this! I've made no changes today. Except I had to kill a "maintenance in process" that ground me to a halt - just like yesterday. I have this set to go at 1 AM but for some reason both today and yesterday, it is doing it in the middle of the day while I am actively working on my machine. p.s. I am on windows 8.1
I just purchased a yoga 14 with windows 8.1. I want to disable the caps lock notification and almost all of the old solutions for windows 7 do not apply because there is no "On-Screen Display" tab. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Good day and welcome to the community.
Please confirm that your machine is a "ThinkPad" Yoga 14, and I'll move the thread for you.
Thanks.
One of my clients has a T410 with Windows 7 64-bit installed. When he turns on his caps lock, the indicator lights up and the same indicator appears on the screen and then stays present until the caps lock is turned off. When caps lock is turned off the indicator disappears in about 3 seconds. My other T410s are not experiencing this issue. What can we do to change the indicator so that it only appears on-screen for 3 seconds? I appreciate your help.

I have a thinkpad w541 running on windows 7 that i recently just bought and it works great, but I have a problem with number lock and cap lock not displaying on my screen to let me know if it is on or off. Also, when i adjust my screen brightness and volume, the bar does not show up on my screen telling me how high or how low I am adjusting it. It was doing it earlier, but i think when I uninstalled and reinstalled the power manager it may have effected it. Please help!
Hi Davidvazquez116,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
To resolve the ?On screen display? you have to install Intel Graphic driver, hotkey feature, Power manager & power management driver. All this should be downloaded from Lenovo support site.

Can I install Windows Technical Preview on my PC which is already running technical preview?
I'm not sure what you are asking. I think it's either (a) if it's possible to dual boot W10 TP, or (b) if you can reinstall WP10 TP over an existing installation, likely with the intent to achieve a clean/fresh install (not repair). The answer to both is "yes", although the procedure is different.
3 more repliesHi guys. Recently bought my second Y2P, this one second hand. Reason being my previous one was the 4GB i5 model, this one is the 8GB i7 Now I've noticed a few things when I compare them. Firstly, and most annoyingly, the screen on this one is significantly dimmer than on my previous one. When I put it it max brightness it's only a little brighter than half way on my older one. When I put the brightness all the way down the screen turns off... I''ve already disabled auto dim in the battery settings, windows setting AND intel graphics control panel so I'm sure it's not down to that. I'm running the updated BIOS on both the systems also. This is unbelievably frustrating. Another annoying thing is that the CAPS lock indicator light is always on. Apart from when I press a button, it turns off whilst anything is being pressed (on the keyboard). It does this as soon as the machine is switched on. BIOS setting have been reverted to standard etc and nothing seems to be fixing any of it. I have also done a full reset of the machine on numerous occasions. Nothing. One last niggle is that I've noticed that the touchpad is ever so slightly sunk in (something that I probably only noticed because I have another yoga to compare it to) and there is some play in the touchpad which I would have noticed this regardless. Is it time to contact Lenovo warranty team? Sorry for the long post, and I'd really appreciate any advice!
Just to keep the thread updated in case by any chance someone has similar problems... I've contacted Lenovo who are saying it's likely a motherboard issue, I'll be getting a letter with details of how to arrange a courier to collect the system within the next few days. I'll let y'all know what comes of it!

More repliesA few days ago I registred for windows 10 technical preview to be installed on my device, however now I decided that I might as well wait for the official version to be released on the 29 July.
I needed to verify whether my phone will be able to get official windows 10 while it still wants to download windows 10 technical preview. Basically i want to install official build rather than the tecnical preview. So will my phone be able to download the official build and ignore the technical preview. I am nervous that the two pending updates will conflict with one another.
Thanks

2 more repliesPlease can someone tell me if it is ok to disable LENOVO UTILITY in task manager, in order to stop the caps lock indicator from popping up. I have read that the only way to stop the indicator for caps lock and num lock is to disable LENOVO UTILITY in task manager but am concerned as to what else will stop running. Does anyone know what the functions of LENEVO UTILITY actually are as nowhere online can I find a definitive answer? I only purchased the laptop the other day and do not want to break it by removing things that are needed for it to function, however the pop up that appears everytime I press caps lock on my keyboard is driving me insane!

More repliesEverytime I press caps lock, change volume i got a notification pops up that often messes up the window focus. It's particularly annoying when trying to play games. Can I turn this off?
I searched around for other people having the same problem and the one solution I got was to change Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\General KeyIndication to 0, but that's already set to 0 for me, and I'm still getting notifications. The solution with removing "lockkey.exe" is not working aswell. I just don't have program like this.

hi Bielax,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Open Control Panel / Uninstall a program.
Look for Lenovo Energy Management or Lenovo Power Management and Uninstall it.
Restart the system after and check.
If you want to put it back then you will have to install this Software back.
Lenovo Energy Management 64 bit
Lenovo Energy Management 32 bit
Hope this helps

Hey guys all of a sudden Windows Technical Preview is coming up in Windows Update and everytime I try and hide it, it keeps coming back up when I check for updates I don't want to install this because I am nervous about messing up my computer and if I don't like it I know I have recovery media now to get my computer to "out-of-the-box" state, but when I re-connect to one of my networks I will have lots of hassles getting it to work and connect how can I stop the Windows Technical Preview from coming up and keep it hidden
Delete the latest installed Windows Update (KB299xxxxx??) - that should stop it. Note that doing so will delete your Update History, and reset the SoftwareDistribution folder

Windows update is for W7 updates. You'll need to mount the ISO onto removable media, then boot (or dual boot) from there.

8 more repliesI'm using an HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook series. I noticed that my Caps Lock LED is not working but its FUNCTION is working fine.. same goes with Scroll Lock. Here's the weird part.. when I press Num Lock ( function key + scroll lock ) the LED turns on! I already tried a system recovery, it didn't solve the issue. Is there something wrong with my BIOS? Any help from you guys will be highly appreciated.. thanks!
Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then try updating your BIOS. If neither works...It's pretty much dead and not worth fixing. To Perform A Hard Reset Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I returned from work and powered it on, the entire keyboard is not working and therefore cannot enter my login details.
The Num lock and Caps lock are lit.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Hi
Are you able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
Can you access the BIOS pressing F2 while powering up the unit?
If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
If the USB keyboard would functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Well, I have no idea what caused this but the tablet buttons (even the on/off button) the lights for caps lock and scroll lock as well as the automatic screen orientation change when I flip it to be a tablet have stopped working.Also the screen does not turn off anymore when the lid is closed. Reinstalled pretty much all of the drivers, no effect.Any ideas? Is this thing already broken?
well, SOMETHING is broken.. though it would seen unlikely it is hardware.. a question: did you load anything new just before this happened..?anything at all..scanner drivers or printer drivers or a new application..? OH!, welcome to the lenovo community..!
