How to Disable Sticky Keys in Windows 11

Sticky Keys is a feature that allows you to press key combinations, like Ctrl + Alt + Del, in sequence rather than simultaneously. While this option can be helpful for some users, for others, it can be an annoyance, especially if it gets activated by accident. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to easily disable Sticky Keys in Windows 11.

Step 1: Open Sticky Keys Settings

First, access the Settings menu:

1. Press Win + I or open “Settings” from the Start menu.
2. In the Settings window, select “Accessibility”.
3. Next, go to the “Keyboard” section to access keyboard settings.

Step 2: Turn Off Sticky Keys

In the “Keyboard” section, find the option for “Use Sticky Keys”. To disable it:

1. Locate the toggle switch next to “Sticky Keys” and set it to the “Off” position.
2. Ensure that the keyboard shortcut for activating Sticky Keys is also disabled to prevent accidental activation.

Step 3: Additional Settings

If you want to fully prevent Sticky Keys from being activated, follow these steps:

1. Click on “Sticky Keys options” or “Additional keyboard settings”.
2. Uncheck the box next to “Allow the shortcut key to start Sticky Keys when Shift is pressed five times”.
