Windows 10: I NEED to turn off repeat keys and none of the solutions provide a viable way to do it

I used my keyboard to do all kinds of things that require me to hold down a key, like Push-to-Talk. However, when I do so, my keystrokes repeat after about .5 seconds so the key is being pressed over and over and over and over and over and over. I have looked at Filter Keys, turned them off, still my keys repeat. I changed the settings in filter options to turn on bounce keys and low and behold my keys stopped repeating, however, the minimum setting for bounce key pressing is .5 seconds which means if I want to backspace 10 times, I have to wait .5 seconds between each push of the backspace key. If I want to space 5 times I have to do the same. words with repeating letters are the same problem. Really irritating.


All I really want to do is turn OFF repeat keys, but there is no option to just TURN THEM OFF. Even if I turn off filter keys, my keystrokes repeat. I know that I used to be able to use keyboard commands to do things like push-to-talk, WTH?

Repeat Keys not Working

Hey there,

The repeat keys feature stopped working for my laptop's keyboard after a recent Windows 10 update.

I have tried turning Filter Keys on and off again but it won't do the trick.

I have also tried to update my keyboard driver in Device Manager but it said it is the latest version.

The closest thing I could do to getting my keyboard to the way it was was to turn on filter keys and set it to the shortest amount of delay in the options.

It allows me to repeat keys but at a slower rate than what it normally is.

I have tried adjusting the keyboard repeat delay and rate on the Control Panel but it does not seem to affect the delay on Filter keys.

Is there any way I can get repeat keys to work again?

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

Repeat Keys not Working

Hi Rey,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried turning off filter keys then restarting but repeat keys still doesn't work.

I have then tried turning filter keys on then adjusting the keyboard settings in the control panel:

setting delay to the shortest and repeat to the fastest, but still no effect.

Any other way you might know how to get around this issue?

Thanks again.
