How to Turn Off Sticky Keys in Windows 11

Sticky keys is a Windows feature that allows you to press a key instead of key combinations used as keyboard shortcuts. This is useful for people who can’t press and hold two or more keys at the same time. When the Sticky Keys feature is turned off, you can copy by hitting CTRL + C at the same time, but when it is turned on, you can copy by pressing CTRL, releasing it, and then pressing C. Many users, on the other hand, want to keep it disabled, either to maintain the status quo or because they might accidentally enable it. Today, we will teach you how to turn off or disable sticky keys in Windows 11.
