Magic Keyboard Caps Lock LED light not working, Catalina 10.15.2

The Caps Lock functionality works but the LED on my brand new Apple slate gray Magic Keyboard quit working. I'm running a one-month old Mac Mini (2018) and Catalina 10.15.2. I believe the LED worked out of the box, and I think I have done one update since I bought the machine.

I have rebooted the machine and cycled the keyboard off and one - no joy. I run a Windows virtual machine via Parallels. I don't know if there is a conflict there; no LED in either mode. (I used to encounter a caps lock reversal depending on how I toggled back and forth between Windows and Apple OS when using VMWare on an older iMac.)

Not an emergency, but it bugs me. Any ideas welcome.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

leroydouglas,

Thanks for responding to my inquiry. I performed the NVRAM/PRAM reset to no avail. While the system defaulted to a max resolution display setting, which I changed back via Settings, the Caps Lock LED issue remained unchanged. Appreciate the suggestion, though.
