Question: How to disable the caps lock FUNCTION but still have the caps lock button to use while gaming (https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHelp/comments/1tex2uh/how_to_disable_the_caps_lock_function_but_still/)

"I would love for any type of assistance on getting the caps lock FUNTION to not work while still being able to use the cap lock as a button for gaming."

This person wants to use the Caps Lock key for gaming, but not to actually turn Caps Lock on when doing so. AlomWare Toolbox has a system tweak setting to do exactly that. Open Toolbox's "Settings" and navigate to "Tweaks for your PC > Keyboard > Freeze the Caps Lock key so that it always stays off" (as shown below). Done! Now whenever the Caps Lock key is now pressed, it turns off immediately again.
