I have an annoying issue on my PC because it is constantly turning Filter Keys on. I have to perform long chain of operations in order to turn them off. I don’t know how to change the setting to stop this behaviour. Can you help me to stop it?

    Hi Joe, my name is Max and I'm an independent advisor.

    I understand that you have encountered an issue connected with Filter Keys.

    I advise that you try to change the registry and check if it makes any difference.

    Note: You should back up the registry before you modify it in order to avoid losing important information: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    1. Press the Windows key and the letter R to open Run.
    2. Type regedit and press Enter.
    3. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys
    4. Find Flags DWORD key on the right.
    5. Double-click on this key, then change the Value Data to 506 and click on OK
