Keystrokes displaying on the bottom of the screen

Question

I was pressing random keys on my keyboard while testing if all my keys worked or not and I accidentally opened some settings where it shows the keys I press on the bottom. I don't have any type of software that could do something like this besides maybe razer synapse? but the issue occurs with any other keyboard I try. I've searched online everywhere and I cant seem to find how to turn it off. pls help

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

It looks that you have Installed some keyboard utility which shows the pressed Keys.

Please try to Open Task Manager -> Go to Processes Tab -> Try to find any matching utility -> Right Click -> End task and see if stopped.

Answer 2

I had this exact same issue. It happened due to me sleeping next to my laptop and pressing some keys in my sleep. I was looking through the processes in my task manager and just found out it was a screen recorder (iTop screen recorder, to be exact) causing the issue. The program has a feature called "Enable KeyStroke Visualisation" for which the default hotkey is "Alt +K" which can be used to toggle this feature.

Just press "Alt + K" and its should go away.

if it doesnt, just quit that program using task manager.

IGNORE the (relatively daft) "answer" provided by LT/Limited Technology (obviously, they ARE rather limited). Scroll down and read ARUN PRABHAKAR's answer for a simple, sweet, elegant solution:

Press "ALT" + "K".

done.
