Disable Sticky Keys notification in Windows 10

Sticky Keys help the user enter key combinations by pressing keys in succession rather than simultaneously. This benefits users who cannot or have difficulty pressing shortcut key combinations.

While sticky keys can help people who have difficulty with key combinations, it can also irritate people who often use function keys. For example, if you press the SHIFT key several times in succession in Windows 10, a message will appear asking whether you want to enable sticky keys.

  1. Because a thank you is definitely in order here 😀

    My question is simply, how can I figure out why my keys on my keyboard are acting so strangely? Sometimes my Acer laptop does not type in capital letters or it mixes up punctuation marks.
    Could you give me more information or suggestions about keyboard settings? I have gone through most of that.

    1. Hello, what I can imagine is the language input changer. This is a key combination via ALT + SHIFT that immediately switches the input language. If you indicate it sometimes happens, so not always it is possible that this key combination is responsible for switching characters and keys. Good luck!
