Windows 10: Long press does nothing after turning on the filter keys

I tried to turn on the sounds for physical keyboards whenever a key is pressed so I turned on filter keys but long press like removing multiple alphabets by pressing backspace or typing the same alphabet by long pressing the key stopped working. Turning off the key solves the problem but stops the sound too.

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.

Booting without press any key

@dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?
