How to turn off Sticky Keys on Windows 10 and 11
Sticky Keys is an accessibility feature in Windows that makes it easier to use complex keyboard shortcuts for people with difficulty pressing multiple keys at once, by "sticking" the Shift, Ctrl, Windows, and Alt keys. However, this feature can be inconvenient if not used, as it activates a default shortcut that can accidentally trigger Sticky Keys when pressing the Shift key five times in a row. To avoid this, users should turn off the Sticky Keys shortcut on each PC they use, which is easily done by going to the Settings app and selecting Keyboard, then turning off the "Press one key at a time for keyboard shortcuts" option or unchecking the "Allow the shortcut key to start Sticky Keys" option. It's worth noting that Windows doesn't sync this setting across devices, so users will need to change it on every computer they use.
