Which key did I press to open the "ease of access" menu?
I was typing on my Windows computer when I somehow opened the Ease of Access menu, and now I cannot remember which key or keyboard shortcut I pressed to bring it up. I did not intend to change any ac...
If it opened the main Ease of Access / Accessibility settings, you probably pressed Windows key + U. Opening that page doesn’t change any settings by itself.
If it was a smaller prompt, these are the likely shortcuts:
- Shift five times: Sticky Keys.
- Hold the right Shift key for eight seconds: Filter Keys.
To stop those prompts, open Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard on Windows 11, or Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard on Windows 10. Turn off the keyboard shortcut for Sticky Keys or Filter Keys—not just the feature itself.
Those switches don’t disable Windows+U, but you can simply close that settings window if you open it accidentally.
