CSR Bluetooth 'Caps Lock' OSD notification mute
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cambridge Silicon Radio\Harmony\Default]
"OSD"=dword:00000000

I finally found the file in the registry that got rid of the notifications if you have a CSR Harmony Bluetooth dongle installed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cambridge Silicon Radio\Harmony\Default
double click OSD
set value to 0
restart pc
no more caps lock on / off notifications for me!

Thank you so much! This was making me tab out of video games and I spent ages trying to figure it out. At one point I was literally going through task manager and ending any task I thought might be the culprit. I noticed the CSR bluetooth software running and briefly considered it, but then I thought nah... there's no way they would do something so obnoxious as include a random caps lock indicator with no option to turn it off in a BLUETOOTH stack. Clearly I was wrong.

Thanks a bunch! Bit silly how hard it is to find a fix for this until you find the actual culprit.
