Every one of us, at least once in a lifetime, would have come across these Sticky Keys. I personally discovered them while playing games. Whenever I used modifier keys like Shift or Ctrl multiple times in a row, this would close the current Window in which you are working. Or, in my case, playing and will show a prompt about Sticky Keys. This was quite annoying, and I never understood why this is there in the first place.
We are going to discuss that in this article, which would discuss what this feature is all about and how we can turn them off if it isn’t necessary. Sticky Keys are a feature of Windows in an attempt to relieve your finger from repetitive usage of these keys, as you might know, we now and then use this keys like we use the Shift keys to make letters capital or Ctrl for specific commands, that’s why these keys are also known as modifier keys.
Let me explain you in a simple way, suppose you want to pass a command to your computer say Ctrl + Alt + Delete, as a normal human being you would combinedly press these three keys but with Sticky Keys on you can press the Ctrl and release and then you can press the further keys which would also execute the command. As it is an annoying feature at some time lets straight away jump to the section.
