Disable the Caps, Num and Scroll lock keys when needed
If you are anything like me, you probably end up pressing the caps lock key in the least appropriate moments. NumLocker can help you avoid this.
NumLocker is a small, straightforward and efficient program that prevents Caps lock, Num lock and Scroll lock keys from accidentally being pressed and used when they are not wanted.
Installation, set-up and usage of NumLocker couldn’t be simpler: the program unobtrusively sits in your system tray and is managed via the menu that opens when you right-click on the icon. There is no user interface to speak of, but with a program as basic as NumLocker, that’s really not a problem.
If you are used to pressing the Caps lock key to get single capital letters, say at the beginning of a proper noun, NumLocker could take a little getting used to as it completely disables the function of the Caps lock, Num lock and Scroll lock keys. You can, of course, re-enable these functions in a mouseclick.
NumLocker is a simple, small tool that prevents you from accidentally pressing the Caps lock, Num lock and Scroll lock keys.
User reviews about NumLocker

Since switched to Win11 NumLocker does not work anymore! It worked fairly well for me on Win10.

The application is hidden by default on Win10. To find it you should go to Personalization -> Taskbar -> Other system tray icons and switch the icon on. After that it appears in the taskbar and you can setup NumLocker as you wish. More

Well, right off of the bat i think it sucks. I can't even activate it without signing up for a "free trial" of Microsoft 368 which turns into$99 a month after 30 days. If I wanted Microsoft 365 I would by the damned thing . Now that I read the reviews for it, I wonder why in the Hell Softpedia even offers such crap. I am sick and tired of having my time wasted by such crap. You try something that is supposed to make your life easier and it just causes you frustration and lost time. I should have known that it would be a half hour lost. I should have known that I would lose a half hour, due to the fact that I can't let crap like this go without expressing my RAGE at those who perpetrate such B.S. Sincerely, Larry Boydston. More

In theory it's good but it fails to open and I can't access any menu to adjust settings on my Windows 10 laptop

Documentation says it can "Start with Windows", but it doesn't and there is no switch or checkbox available in the setup wizard that enables such. So you have to remember to use the setup wizard each time you start your device. Not convenient. More
