Windows 10: Sticky keys mean I cannot enter password to get on my laptop

Sticky keys suddenly came on. I tried googling how to turn them off but google wouldn't recognise the jumble of letters that appeared when I tried to type so tried turning it off and on again but now can't even get onto that laptop as cannot enter my password due to the sticky keys.


How can I log in?


How can I turn the sticky keys off (preferably forever)?


Who thought sticky keys were a good idea?


(first 2 questions the most important)


Thanks, Gareth (having to use wife's laptop to ask you)

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.

Sticky keys turning on after my computer sleeps

Hi,

Sticky Keys is a Windows Ease of Access feature that makes it possible to use keyboard shortcuts or type capital letters without needing to press more than one key at once. Since the sticky keys still turning back on when the Shift key is pressed 5 times, you
can disable it by following the steps below:

• Press the Windows key.
• Type "Turn on easy access keys".
• Press the Enter key.
• Click Set up Sticky Keys.
• Uncheck Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times.
• Click Apply.
