Windows 10: More trouble with magnifier.

I can only type with one hand.
Therefore I have to use Sticky Keys.
To turn the Magnifier off:
I hit Shift & Win esc.
This works fine and I have been using it for sometime.
On my keyboard the + is an upper case =.
So to turn on the Magnifier I must hit Shift Win & Shift & =.
Which seldom works.
I there a way I can hit Shift & Win & Shift & = with one keystroke?

Hey RXaverius,

I suggest you to follow the below steps to turn off the magnifier and check if it helps.

• Go to “settings” and click on “ease of access”.
• Then under the “magnifier” option “turn off” it.

Or also you can press the keys “Windows+Esc” and the magnifier will be closed.
