\n<\/strong>
\nA tip for Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of our pet peeves is hitting the CAPS LOCK key by accident and forgetting it was turned on. While some keyboards have a light to indicate the CAPS LOCK key is activated, by default there is no audio warning. We\u2019re going to show you how to configure Windows 10 and Windows 11 to BEEP when you hit the CAPS LOCK key, Num Lock key, or the Scroll Lock key by accident. <\/span><\/p>\n

Having an audio warning when you accidentally tap one of those keys is helpful, especially if you\u2019re a touch typist and not a hunt & peck typist.<\/span><\/p>\n
