The Caps Lock key is present on our keyboards and is used to write all the text in uppercase which we do not always do, so if we write frequently we can accidentally convert everything written to uppercase and then we will have to convert it to lowercase, wasting time , the problem is that Windows 10 does not integrate any option to disable this key , but TechnoWikis will explain how to achieve it effectively..
The keyboard contains different secondary functions that help us perform tasks by combining keys in a simple way. In this case, the caps lock key is on the left side of the keyboard and usually has a light associated with it that helps us know if it is active or not. Usually its use is useful to put or remove the uppercase mode quickly.
