CAPS LOCK freezes mouse

CAPS LOCK freezes mouse - Black Android Smartphone on Top of White Book

After many years i reinstalled CSS on my EliteBook 8570w.

I used CAPS LOCK as jump, but on this notebook I have problems with it. When i press CAPS lock mouse freezes for few seconds making me unable to turn.

I checked ... the sticky keys are not on and CAPS lock seems to be binded only to JUMP.

Whats the problem?



Best Answer

It turned out that "HP Hotkey Support" service was messing with CAPS LOCK. After disabling it from startup the CAPS-LOCK works.
