A very weird problem. For the letters a, o, s, and u, caps lock leaves them lowercase; it works for every other letter. I noticed it 3 weeks after getting the computer; I have a 1-year warranty. Any idea what this could be?

  • It happens in every program I have tried (word, notepad, chrome, and native windows 10 interfaces).

  • It also happens with the on-screen keyboard.

  • The shift key also has (a variant of) the same problem: after pressing any of the "cursed" keys, sometimes ALL keys will start being lower case.

  • It is fixed by making a new user (only for the new user)!

  • Disabling the program "autohotkey" which I installed does nothing.

  • Updating key/mouse drivers does nothing.

Specs: Lenovo Yoga 900 with 512GB ram & intel i7-6500u, 16GB ram. Windows 10 home.

  • Just noticed: if I type the letter twice or more it goes capital, with caps lock on: so I could type "YYuUIIoOPP" for example.

    Nahh.. OP said the problem exists with the OSK as well so I wouldn't call it a hardware issue. Must be something in the computer which I cannot tell without looking at it

    Does this also happen if you are typing while holding down the Shift key, or does it only happen with Caps Lock?

Warning! Keylog alert... lol

Execute your Windows in safe mode and test.

If solve problem in safe mode, maybe have a keylog install cause this problem when computer run in normal start. Execute msconfig to see what programs is running when windows start.

But, if in safe mode the problem persist look about this program https://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/. With them you can remap key on your system.
