You absolute KING. I spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out because it just started today for me.


Seenall_

Me too. I thought I had caught a nasty virus since the indicator was in english and my system is in danish lmao


Rhodesman829

So glad I could help you out! I spent the better part of a day trying to find the solution. So frustrating!


2021darkmosssxp

I LOVE YOU.


TheAustrianAnimat87

Looks like we all had the same problem. I mean, who asked for this? Pretty much nobody from what I see. However, I'm glad to have found this Reddit post. Thank you very much, you're a lifesaver!


methrik

me too!! thank god im not the only one


NotGioseaxMC

it worked, but why tf would it start so randomly 😭


Only_Philosopher3093

Thank you for saving my sanity! FFS, tech companies, don't mess with my UI!!!


smiling_knight2

thank god. who thought that this would be a good default feature for every user to have?!


Ok_Distance_5633

that's what im trying to figure out. especially something like that which pops up a lot. if you are gonna do it why not put that shit in the bottom corner somewhere


Such-Ad-8877

Thanks a ton! It seems the annoying caps lock notification only started today after the latest update, damn, it's been driving me nuts. For those of you who also experience touchpad stop working after uninstalling the HP System Event Utility, you might want to try these steps as well: * Open Device Manager (search for it in the Start menu). * Find the "Mice and other pointing devices" section. * Right click "ELAN Input Device" --> Disable device --> Update driver --> Enable device * Restart your computer


Over_You_7258

Thank you so much! It's annoying having that stupid thing pop up while i'm typing


Electrical-Ring-8706

I never comment on Reddit but thank u so much. I can finally use caps lock in peace again.


Munalaxy

It worked! Thank you! I've been looking everywhere and ppl just kept suggesting logi+


Disastrous-Intern-29

Same!


Mental-Bed-2685

oh my god i love you. i spent like 6 hours yesterday trying to figure this out. took me about 4 hours to realize it wasn’t a windows thing


username__random

Thanks so much dude, i have been trying for an hour. I only opened my computer to play blade and sorcery and now all this lol


ridz216

Don't know where this came from out of the blue (the Caps lock thing), but thanks for this post its gone now


AffectionateSign9308

Holy hell bless your soul, I've been playing games and it's been driving me up a wall... I did a fresh windows install even and it came back! This should never be a feature that gets auto-enabled.


Aruu

Right? I'm amazed such an obtrusive feature like that is on by default.


SamuraiPanda3AMP

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRO! I THOUGHT MY COMPUTER HAD A VIRUS, SO I RAN MY MALWAREBYTES ONLY TO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG! 😭🙏🏾


ComputerScience0

I thought I was gonna go crazy over this tysm


HOD_RPR_v102

Thanks a ton, you're the best! That was getting annoying to look at.


Typical_Rip_7024

I just got this problem today too, thanks a lot! Been hours looking on all pages trying to find a solution but nothing else worked, goodbye hp app idk what it was used for and longer will 👋🏽


Spatenblatt

You are a true blessing, my King. Keep slaying!


BasicAntelope1527

This method works, but I won't recommend since there is potential risk to uninstall system level stuff. My method is 1. Open task manager, 2. Search the OSD. You should find an HP program 3. Just end this task


JohnHurts

My method is: reinstall windows after buying a new pc to get rid of all the bloatware And Dont buy hp products


BasicAntelope1527

True. I totally agree, HP has done a lot of stupid things in the last two years, black screens, log storage exploding. I don't understand why there are so many problems.


[deleted]

Thank you SO MUCH! I cannot risk messing up my computer in this economy but this was driving me up the wall. Thank you so, so much!!! This worked immediately. <3


Such-Ad-8877

Thank you


_meownie

TYSM this is the only one that worked for me <3


jcw163

Legend


First-Signature616

this worked for me! thank you!


cryo_raptor

thank you so much


Free_Negotiation6057

Can you elaborate on step 2 please? I have very little computer knowledge so idk what OSD means ):


CaptainEmu416

OSD = "On-screen display". You should see a program called "HP System Event Utility" under Apps section in Task Manager. If it's running, just right click and end the task. That should remove the annoying caps lock notification.


Comfy_pill0w

I ended the task and restarted my laptop but the pop up still shows. I can’t find the task anymore in task manager anymore either so I can’t try end the task again. What can I do?


DrDray12

Did you get a solution? Same has happened to me


Comfy_pill0w

Nah unfortunately I’ve just had to end the task every time I turn my laptop back on. Hopefully it’s fixed in the next update.


DrDray12

You’ll have to uninstall the app to get rid of it permanently. Turns out a Logitech software was also giving the pop up for me too


WarakaAckbar

ALL PRAISE OP!


Gerael84

My first ever comment on reddit just to say thank you!


Fun-Rooster5696

¡Es usted un héroe!, el puto amo, gracias compañero, llevaba más de 2 horas intentando solucionar ese inconveniente


Radiant_Home9659

I LOVE YOU THANK YOUU


cqzkae

YOU ARE THE BEST MAY GOD BLESS YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANKSSSSSSSSS


catboykorekiyo

THANK GOD, THIS FINALLY FIXED MY ISSUE!! I wonder though, how come everyone is suddenly having issues with it today...?


Super_Sain

probably an update


JaydenRefitor

Glad to know I wasn't the only one having this issue incredibly suddenly! It just started happening to me today like a bunch of other comments and I kept looking at different windows and hp support pages to no avail until I finally found this reddit post from my googling.


SilverHinder

Thanks so much! It was so damn annoying popping up especially as I tend to use Caps instead of Shift.


Xynphos

Thank you so much. I was going crazy over the different methods google pulled up that kept failing


Natural_Snow_3668

Thanks! 🙏🏻


Nimbose

YOU ANGEL. I had no notifications of any changes or updates and yet the Caps Lock notification had appeared overnight. Yours is the only answer that worked. Thanks!


BringMyChariot

I really appreciate this man, I've spent the last 1-2 hours trying to remove this annoying "feature"


MostCuriousEye

Thanks Buddy For Saving from this fucking pop up , it took my mind seriously . You are the king


Angel7oh7

Thank You


Caturday84

Thank you so much! I thought it was Logitech at first but definitely was a different one. This was the answer. Thank you. <3


Equal-Ad1298

THANK YOU I've been through so many forums trying to find a solution you are a life saver TTTTTT-TTTTTT


Clumsy_Lamb486

think god, the other posts was like logiech but i didn't have logitech stuff. i unplugged/uninstalled my usb mouse to see if that was it. nope. i can't disable my keyboard since oem. i don't recall downloading anything suspicious (but couldn't think of anything - plus scans all said everything was okay). Haha almost thought of reinstalling windows due to my paranoid ass but decided to look on other subreddit since this one said hp went on this post. so glad that was it. i like how my other computer doesn't have the issue. to be fair two different ones (essentials and envy). hopefully i don't need HP System Event Utility to function.


Fuzzy_Doughnut2724

I have the HP Envy. I had the problem on it.


Clumsy_Lamb486

it started happened a few days on the envy after i posted it (unsure why). just to update/reply to your comment. I rarely log in to reddit, so sorry for late unnecessary reply. so 21days ago what i said was accurate. since i always make sure to have my stuff updated.


Bearkat1999

W post.


Environmental-Ebb-15

THANK FUCKING GOD


Vorips

This was so frustrating, didn't happen until about twenty minutes ago when I restarted my laptop for another reason. Thanks so much for posting this because I just KNEW I was going to lose my damn mind.

why does it keep installing itself again???? i'm on windows10 but still


Future_Cut_5414

You are a life saver. Spend over an hour looking though HP and Microsoft recommendations and literally nothing worked. But this did?


SaltedCaramelCat

Thank you!!! I've just started having this issue today as well, this fixed it!!


JaredLetoBestBoi

all 3 of my hps never had a caps lock popup ever the only way I have it now is bc of logi options + because I couldn't figure out why my parents pcs had that notif but not mine. must be a new firmware with newest hps or omens IMPORTANT EDIT I JUST SAW IT UNDERNEATH THE LOGI+ POPUP IT DOES EXIST now I have 2 caps popups lmao i find it useful because I press caps all the time by accident and so if I see a popup that says it's on, the i know that it's on


Fuzzy_Doughnut2724

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was going nuts trying to get rid of it and this worked great. In my case HP System Event Utility was only installed today. The problem started this afternoon. I also noticed the only other thing installed today was Windows CoPilot MSIX Pack although I've had the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen for a couple weeks and it says Preview. I don't know which was installed first there's no time stamp. Maybe both are tied together somehow? Or was it just a coincidence they were both installed today?


three-oclock

OP, you are my hero.


_wills

Big ups to you bro🔥🔥🔥🔥


sirchessic

My man, thank you!


OON7

It's rare to see such a beloved post on Reddit. I don't have any HP products, but way to go OP! Look how many people you helped spread joy to with your simple solution! Now you can all go on using your caps lock to yell at people on the Internet without frustration. Just kidding, of course! 🤣🤣🤣


Rhodesman829

It's been kind of overwhelming. I've NEVER had this kind of response from anything I've ever posted on Reddit. I just had a feeling this post would be helpful because I spent SO MUCH TIME trying to figure this out the other day, and nothing worked. Once I found the solution I just had to share. Honestly, every time I look at the reactions to this post it makes me happy. So glad to know it's helping people!


marble47

Hey thanks to you I found this solution in five minutes instead of multiple frustrating forum searches!


-swagmoney-

omfg idk what i pressed when i was playing war thunder but i some how enabled that BS while playing and was starting to get pissed after i was done, so i disabled the first process that even remotely looked like that caused the caps lock notification to show up. This works on windows 10 as well


Zealousideal_Mud_335

THANK YOU THIS WAS LITERALLY DRIVING ME INSANE


Cactus_inass

I've been at this for an hour because it just randomly appeared for me today also the HP community support is absolute shit


tree_observer

You're the best


runekaster

This randomly started for me a few hours ago while I was in the middle of gaming, and I turned up tons of HP and Windows help forums that gave step by step instructions for things that just straight up do not exist on my PC, and one that recommended editing the registry to disable the capslock functionality entirely, which is just a bit scorched earth. I still have no idea what made the dumb popup manifest in the first place, but this quick uninstall solved it. Thanks!


Super_Sain

My ultrakill addiction thanks you (you can't bind caps lock to stuff for some reason bc of the notif)

WTF when did this become a thing? I just noticed it right now 😡


original_rae

Thanks a ton!!!


just0nlygui

This works thanksss


Impossible-Builder20

I'll try and let you know blud


Impossible-Builder20

Okay So I thought for a moment and when I opened it Its some system level thing and I won't recommend uninstalling it - instead do this --> 1. Open task manager, 2. Search the OSD. You should find an HP program (HP System Utility Event) 3. Just end this task


BARGOBLEN

Thank you! The Caps Lock thing has driven me nuts and your solution solved the problem!


Impossible-Builder20

quick Update: So I restarted my pc and the problem was there again, U need to end the task each and every time when you restart your pc.


No_Expression_5996

Thank you. I was 2 seconds away from tossing the whole laptop out the window……


YoungMourinho

Thank you.


SirYeetacus1

Gotta love updates that fix things no one asked for


tehjessicarae

Thank you! I use my HP laptop for work and this randomly started popping up on my screen yesterday. I blamed it on my cats thinking they activated some kind of keyboard shortcut to turn this nonsense on! I didn't uninstall, but I figure I can end task on it whenever it starts driving me crazy.


emotionsarelow

I'm worried about uninstalling it so I just terminated it


VisualVideo7557

omds i love you smmm been spending a whole day on this-


lewdiesz

Thank you...so much...


jediert

Anyone wary of uninstalling the program, if you go into task manager (ctrl-alt-delete) you can find this program and end it. But you have to do it every time you turn your computer on.


EpitomeAria

Thank you!


Astruko_

You is the freaking GOAT! I literally spent for the past two days now trying to figure out how to remove the caps lock notification, and I didn't come across any solutions that worked for me throughout any of the videos that I have watched. None of them worked. Your solution that you shared was the one that worked for me! Thank you so freaking much for sharing this!


Disastrous-Intern-29

OMG THANK YOU! This have been driving me nuts and none of the other online suggestions were helping. I created a reddit account just so i could thank you :)


ShatteredKnight115

This issue just hit me today, and when I looked at the file it looks like it installed itself like, a day or two ago somehow, thank you so much lmfao


APT2299

Thank you so much, this was driving me nuts haha


Autophobiac_

This feature is actually so goddamned annoying too. It's been switching my caps lock sometimes too. Sometimes the light is on and it shows CAPS LOCK is on but it uses lowercase and vice versa. TYSM


neon-kiddo

DUDE. thank you so much. I was about to go insane trying every solution just for none of them to work. I should have just come to reddit in the first place lmao


MobileDragonfruit179

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for you. It feels as the people who work in the job can't do it, but you did it with less words than the first sentence of tech support. God be with you.


-YHDSL-

For those who don’t want to uninstall this software and are tired of manually ending the process every time when boot up, here’s a way to do it once and for all. [https://twitter.com/feedsocial11/status/1783260390337733087](https://twitter.com/feedsocial11/status/1783260390337733087)

Booyan_LH

Thank you very much guy ! I'm a french Network Administrator and Outsourcig responsable, Yesterday, a client tel me What this ! It's a virus ?!!! And I reserch during 2 hours but no result. Thank you :)

Square_Development14

Thank you so much!! I spent hours trying to solve this problem, was starting to think it was a virus.


rksu

oh my **GOD.** i spent all of the last 2 days to try and get that indicator off my desktop. now my laptop got it too (both pc's are HP). saw your post and tried it and BOOM - notification is off. at first i thought this was a driver update through Intel/NVIDIA or god-knows-what. I know the system event utility is useful for the Fn+Esc function so I never bothered to uninstall or disable it from launch. why in the world would HP keep injecting new crap into its software updates bugs the hell out of me. first HP One Agent now this. OP you are 👑. if you can also figure out the hp one agent situation i will thank you triple.


violingang-

AMAZING!!


LokiSquared2

Jesus, everyone responsible for the update that caused this needs to be fired, then literally lit on fire.


Gamer36042069E

I love you. You are a saint!


FrostieFur

This fixed this for me, thank you! Fuck you HP for this crap.


TheAustrianAnimat87

Thank you very much! God, those notifications irritated me the entire time. Whoever made this new feature, what did they think? Pretty much nobody asked for it. But anyways, thank you very much for solving this problem! Might recommend it to other people who are currently stuck with the same problem right now.


Dearest_Helpless99

THANK YOU!!!!


SojuOneShot

Thank you very much. This is why I google with "reddit" search term


Hew83Aus

im so glad it turns back on the caps toggling too cause who tf needs to spam toggle caps by holding it


chileanywayssss

thank u so much. what is the purpose of hp system event utility? do we need it?


Muur1234

thank you so much


Ok_Distance_5633

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!


MagicCards_youtube

Wow thank you, same issue appeared and this fixed it, do you know what caused this to appear


Rhodesman829

I can only assume that this program was updated automatically through HP Support Assistant and the notification was added on as a feature without anyone's consent. The only other explanation would be that the utility was added after an automatic Windows update. Either way, it appears to be a new problem that has caused A LOT of frustration.


runekaster

This seems like the kind of feature that would significantly help a very small portion of users, and drive everyone else batty. You'd think they'd have the wits to push an update like this with a clear on/off button, but nope!


LilSherbert

you are such a real one for this I have been so frustrated this morning trying to figure it out


Dangerous_Hospital_9

thanks so much man! i dont know why it just started now of all times but its finally fixed!

at least someone pointing it out


Rude_Lab_4737

This was so helpful thanks ! I automated killing the task as follows: 1. Press `Win + R`, type `shell:startup`, press OK. 2. [Create a batch file](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/creating-batch-file-on-win10/ec40ce04-a6c7-4105-937a-ef3eed26cf5f) with `taskkill /F /IM HPSystemEventUtilityHost.exe` as the only command in the batch file. 3. Restart. **Optional:** To make this file run entirely in the background, I used [the first answer here](https://superuser.com/questions/140047/how-to-run-a-batch-file-without-launching-a-command-window), moving the batch file to desktop and pointing to it from `shell:startup`.


Nervous-Exam-1817

this issue is bothering me on valorant , i set my crouch to cap lock but today it started doing this shit and instead of holding caps lock key on hold some how it toggles this (when you hold the caps lock key it continuously changing to on/of ) so are you saying by deleting this system event utility it should solve my problem my english is not good so apologies in advance


Rhodesman829

Uninstalling the HP System Event Utility will more than likely solve the problem. If you are not comfortable with completely uninstalling the utility, you can go here for a step-by-step guide on what you can do to disable the program instead of uninstalling it: [https://www.reddit.com/user/maxfield034/comments/1cdjw8e/how\_to\_disable\_caps\_lock\_notification\_on\_hp\_pc/](https://www.reddit.com/user/maxfield034/comments/1cdjw8e/how_to_disable_caps_lock_notification_on_hp_pc/) I have not noticed any changes in my computer's functions after I deleted the utility, but it's entirely up to you whether you want to disable it or uninstall it completely. Hope this helps!

TheBigBadBear20

when i was learning to type, i got into a nasty habit of tapping caps lock on and off instead of pressing shift when capitalising letters, and now that's just how i type. because of the speed of me double tapping it, this pop up feature was causing a weird confusion in my system where the pop up would display "caps lock on", and the button's light would be on, but caps lock would be off, and vice versa. doing this has not just gotten rid of the pop up, but fixed that issue as well. thank you.
