Filter Keys

Hi,

Filter Keys are part of the Ease of Access features in Windows 10 that can help users control the keypress repeat rate and ignore the repeated keys. This setting can be disabled by following these steps:

• Click Start.
• Type Control Panel and press Enter.
• Click Ease of Access.
• Click Change how your keyboard works.
• Click Set up Filter Keys.
• Uncheck Turn on Filter Keys when right SHIFT is pressed for 8 seconds.
• Uncheck Turn on Filter Keys.
• Click Apply.
• Click OK.
• Restart your computer.

Let us know if you were able to turn Filter Keys off after following these steps.

Ease of access - Filter keys

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I can understand, how frustrating it can be, when things don’t work as expected.

I'd be glad to help you.

When you turn ON the Filter Keys on your computer, the keyboard will work, but there would be a delay for the computer in accepting the keystrokes, which you make on the computer. So, you need to hold the keys for some time
and only then you would be able to see the effect on the screen. You may check this by opening a notepad and hold on the letter key “A” for a few seconds. If the “Filter Key” is enabled, the letter
“A” will be displayed on the notepad only after a few seconds. To reduce this delay, you need to change the delay time from the “Repeat Keys and Slow Keys” settings. Please follow these steps, mentioned below and check,
if it works:

a) Type Ease of Access Center on the Search bar to open the “Ease of Access Center”.

b) Now, click on the link “Make the keyboard easier to use”

c) Under the section “Turn on Filter Keys”, click on the link “Set up Filter Keys”.

d) In the “Set up Filter Keys” screen, under the section “Filter Options”, select the option “Turn on Repeat Keys and Slow Keys”.

e) Then click on the link “Set up Repeat Keys and Slow Keys”.

f) In the “Set up Repeat Keys and Slow Keys” screen, under the section “Avoid accidental keystrokes” set the value for “How long do you want to hold down a key before your accepts
the keystroke?” to “0.0 seconds”.

g) Click on “Apply” and then “OK” three times.

Now, check if you are able to use the keyboard properly even when you have the “Filter Keys” enabled.

Please feel free to contact us, if you face any issues with Windows.

Thank you.
