How to Turn Off the Sticky Keys Shortcut in Windows 10 You'll hear a beep to confirm the action. To disable Sticky Keys, just press Shift five times in a row again, or press any two of the modifier keys at the same time.
If you say Yes to its prompt, you'll enable it. For instance, instead of hitting Ctrl + Alt + Del all at once, you can press them in succession.īy default, pressing Shift five times in a row brings up the Sticky Keys dialog box. Sticky Keys is one such feature it allows you to use shortcuts that require the Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and Win keys by pressing them one at a time. Windows has many accessibility features that are vital to people who need them, but can cause problems for other users. I'm approaching the point where I'm fearing I'll need to repair/reinstall Windows.If you're experiencing complete chaos with your keyboard, such as random text highlighting, windows minimizing, and lots of beeping, you've probably accidentally activated a feature called Sticky Keys. Windows is up-to-date and security scans have detected nothing. Sticky keys, filter keys, etc, are all off. Using software to spam key up/down messages does not resolve it.
Manually clicking the key on the virtual keyboard seems to do nothing at all. I've found that if I can get the timing right (which usually requires 20-ish attempts), I can get a keystroke on the physical keyboard to slip in while Ctrl not highlighted and actually use the key as if Ctrl was not being held.
If I tap either key on the physical keyboard, those keys flash off momentarily on the on-screen keyboard, but then go back to being highlighted a moment later, as if Windows somehow still thinks the key is being held down somewhere else. I've pulled up the on-screen keyboard and verified that both control keys appear to be held down indefinitely. I've run Microsoft's keyboard diagnostics which returned nothing. I've tried using software to rebind the left control to right control (which I ordinarily never use) and it still persisted. I've disassembled my keyboard and verified that the button is not physically stuck. I have tried unplugging and replugging my keyboard. The problem seems to begin only when I am actively using the computer, but does not appear to coincide with an actual press of the Ctrl key. The only thing I've found that "resolves" this is rebooting, and even then, it is only briefly. I have searched, but its workarounds and solutions did not assist me, nor did googling as what I found there was generally the same list of solutions. As of late, my desktop computer has begun behaving ~30-60 minutes after reboots as if I am holding down the control key indefinitely.
