Windows 11

The on-screen Caps Lock popup no longer appears on the HP ProBook 445 G11. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535U laptop shows that indicator through HP Notifications software, and a missing or stopped HP component is the usual reason it disappears, while the key itself still works.

Fix 3 — Update the Keyboard and Hotkey Drivers

Install the latest keyboard and HP hotkey drivers from HP Support for ProBook 445 G11. If the Caps Lock key LED is also off, a corrupt keyboard driver is the cause, and the update restores both the LED and the on-screen indicator.

Fix 4 — Run HP Support Assistant Updates

HP Support Assistant → Updates. Install all available HP software and driver updates for the ProBook 445 G11. This keeps the notification components current so the Caps Lock indicator continues to work after Windows updates.
