So the problem all along was the Dell peripheral device manager. Once the App was updated and able to be open there was a setting for onscreen caps lock notifications. the problem is resolved.
So, I have a new XPS 8950 but when gaming or in any app the caps lock [and number lock] notification appears and bumps me out of whatever i am doing. I tried all the online solutions listed below. Dell support with remote access admitted defeat and referred me to Microsoft, who after another 2 hours also admitted defeat. The problem appears to be that places where the solution might be do not work for example in: ease of access toggle keys are off, and no to animation are all off Keyboard settings goes straight to the box with properties and no where where you might asign a key/change something Going through the display/advance display adapter does not take you to a card Gui where you might expect check boxes there is just another box with the properties/drivers etc and no where deeper to go. The RTX 3080 card software interface has dislpay options but none that refer to keyboard strokes. as might be guessing i am not techy but none of the online solutions have worked and it has also beat Dell and Microsoft. Any suggestions gratefully received!
