When the pop-up appears, some Windows Insider testers now see a checkbox that says, \u201cNever turn on Sticky Keys with this shortcut.\u201d If it works as expected, it gets rid of one of the more common interruptions you run into while gaming or typing fast, and it does it right there instead of<\/strong> sending you into Settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Sticky Keys still matters for people who need modifier keys<\/strong> like Ctrl, Alt, or Shift to stay active for the next keypress. But if you never use it, this is the kind of quality-of-life fix you’ll want as soon as it rolls out.<\/p>\n\n
