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 helps

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".- leep___May 30, 2024Copper ContributorThank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! 😀

ss6661520After all that is turned off, it will still come back and haunt you if you hold the shift to long. Who uses this crappy thing and why can we (apparently) not remove it from Windows. It is so aggravating.

ss6661520 Thanks for the tip. It worked on my Windows 11 Pro at least.
