Title: FIXED: Sharpkeys in Win10 can't remap capslock key after windows update?
Post by: didjamatic on Mon, 10 October 2016, 06:32:06
For those of you who use Sharpkeys to remamp your capslock key to a control key (as you should be doing!) are you having issues after recent updates on Windows 10?
This has stopped working on home and work computers and is driving me crazy.  Strangely, it leaves another mapping in place which is left control to caps lock, that still acts like capslock key.  I basically swap left control and caps lock keys, though I never end up using capslock for anything.   

FIXED:  I figured out it was not liking to have capslock mapped to left control, while left control was mapped back to caps lock.  (keyception?)
I changed caps lock to map to right-control instead of left and it started working.  This is a new issue post-win updates as I never had the problem in many years previous.
