Windows 11 adds easier Sticky Keys pop-up disable option

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Microsoft is introducing a simpler method in Windows 11 to disable the Sticky Keys pop-up, a feature that activates multi-key shortcuts when the Shift key is pressed five times consecutively. Previously, users had to navigate through settings to turn off this accessibility feature, which could be an annoyance for those who didn't need it, especially in gaming. A new checkbox within the pop-up itself will allow users to permanently disable the prompt, though this is currently in beta for Windows Insiders. AI
