How to permanently disable/remove Sticky Keys?
Hello
For some reason, probably because I sometimes keep LSHIFT pressed or something, the Sticky Keys pops up despite having it disabled in Settings.
Is there a way to completely remove/uninstall/disable this as I am not sure what other setting is available to make it not popping up under any circumstances.
I would imagine a Registry edit or even a custom Win11 installation (more drastic) would be possible unless there is a less invasive way?
Thanks!
- This is an easy fix. First open settings app and go to accessibility. Once there go to keyboard. At the top it should show sticky keys. Turn this off. Now sticky keys will be disabled.
Hope this helpsEthan_Garfinkle I have gone into the ease of access settings and checked the sticky keys off and when I press shift a few times (mostly when panning the camera in blender) I still keep getting that noise and it does not disable them 😞

Ethan_Garfinkle This is not true. You can keep disabling sticky keys but what is being asked is to actually never enable sticky keys. What you are actually describing is more akin to "turn off sticky keys" and yes i realize disable is the keyword that M$ uses.
The problem is that as long as sticky keys is on the system it will get enabled because people like to play with the L-SHIFT key or whatever the trigger is ... or maybe we're just playing video games and those keys are used all of the time.
The actual fix is to:
1.) go to "accessibility keyboard settings" (just like you said)
2.) toggle sticky keys to "off" (just like you said)
3.) click the sticky keys and go into the section itself (you missed this) and turn all of these to "off".
There is no option to turn off Sticky Keys under Keyboard > Sticky Keys. How do you still disable this "easily"?
Stigstig Ok, if you do not have access to this in settings please try control panel. Go to the windows search where all apps are and look for control panel. Open it up and make sure where it says view, it is set to large. After that go to Ease of Access. After that and click on the keyboard picture. Finally turn off the toggle for the sticky keys.
pictures in order:
1. open control panel
2. inside the control panel
3. keyboard settings
4. turn off the sticky key
