I noticed since yesterday that all my typing, be it on the web or MS-word, everything is in CAPS. Seems my caps lock key is no longer functioning because it no longer display the indication of when caps lock is on. I have to hold down my SHIFT key in order to type this and it's tasking.

Nairaland gurus what could be wrong, pls help.

Is it on a Laptop or Desktop Computer.
Is the CAPSLOCK button not functioning.

I understand that you found some suggestions about registry edition - they are not so bad. If you don't want to download any files which allow you to disable CAPS LOCK, you can create it by your own:
Press WinKey+R > type notepad and press Enter
Paste to the notepad this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
File > Save As...
Select for Save as type: All Files
Enter in the File name field: disable_caps_lock.reg
Click Save
Right click on the created file > Merge
Restart your system

In the case that you want to enable CAPS LOCK again, you need to delete that registry entry, so you need follow these steps:
Press WinKey+R > type regedit and press Enter
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
Right click on the Scancode Map > Delete
Restart your system
