  2. I want the alt key to be unsticky. I have sticky keys turned off. Alt key is sticky.

    I want the alt key to be unsticky. I have sticky keys turned off. Alt key is sticky.

    Ctrl and shift keys are working fine - not sticky. Alt key is sticky on Photoshop and Internet Explorer menus. However, it doesn't register as sticking in the on-screen keyboard.

    Windows 10

    Apple keyboard, corded.

    I tried everything on this site: registry edit, reloading drivers, windows sticky key settings, windows updates, malware scan, etc.

    Sticky Keys

    If you push the shift key 5 times a prompt comes up asking if want Sticky Keys or not.
    If you select yes then the next time you hit the Shift, Control, Alt or Window key, a beep sounds and the next key you hit will be effected by the Sticky Key.

    This very handy if you can only type with one hand.

    For example if you hit the shift key, hear the beep, and the next key you hit is p it will come out P. if you hit p again without hitting the shift key again it will come out p. Supposedly.

    After series of uses my Sticky Keys sticks (won't shut off).
    To shut it off I hit the shift key 5 times or until I hear a funny beep.

    Is there an easier way to shut it off? Preferably from the key board?

    sticky keys

    Hi,

    Sticky keys dialog box appears when you have press the Shift key five times continuously. It also lets you use the Shift, Ctrl, ALT, or Windows Logo keys by pressing one key at a time. You can set up Sticky Keys from the Ease of Access Center on the Control
    Panel. Follow the steps below:

    • Press the Shift key five times.
    • Once the dialog box appear, click the Go to the Ease of Access Center to disable keyboard shortcut link.
    • It will open the Set up Sticky Notes window in the Control Panel.
    • Uncheck Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times option.
    • You can also set the settings to your desired option.

    After doing so, check if the same pop-up will appear while playing the game.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.
