After the commencement of Windows 10, many users have downloaded and installed it on their systems. But we assume that there is some problem with the working of two keys. After installing the OS, some users have complained that they are facing difficulty in the performance of the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys on the keyboard. If you are also having the same problem then doesn’t worry much because there are many other users like you who are also experiencing the same problem.

says:well shakti if you are reading this then I guess you have either fixed the problem or are looking at the post from a different device.
I had the exact same problem on my hp Pavilion, here are a few quick tips:
To sign in, press the shift key while you type in your password. This puts the letters back to lower case. Then follow the steps above, “press shift key to turn off caps.” Problem solved and you can continue on your way.
This issue on my almost new HP Pavilion (happened one week after I bought it) cost me hours of time, a few grey hairs and some frustration. That’s all in the past now.
