I know there are posts about this everywhere but none have a solution that is working for me and trust me I haven't just tried a few things. Here goes the things I have tried which is also a compilation of all the repetitive answers I could find.
First I tried the actual Windows settings:
- Open Ease of Access Center → Make your keyboard easier to use.
- Click "Set up Sticky Keys"
- Unchecked "Turn On Sticky Keys"
- Unchecked "Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times".
Then I tried the Registry Editor:
- Opened Registry Editor
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys
- On the right side double click Flags and change its value to 506
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard ResponseLocate Flags in On the right side double click Flags and change its value to 122.
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys
- On the right side double click Flags and change its value to 58.
- Close Registry Editor and restart computer.
Then I tried Renaming the EOA exe File
- Go to Windows -> System32
- Rename Sethc.exe
Nothing I do is getting rid of the sticky keys. If I long press shift it enables sticky keys even after all these things have been done.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME - Thank you @John
Try SFC and DISM . Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. Run SFC /SCANNOW and allow it to complete. Then run dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. Allow all to finish, restart and test.
Answer
"Shift" does not enable Sticky Keys so something has gone wrong. Try SFC and DISM . Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. Run SFC /SCANNOW and allow it to complete. Then run dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. Allow all to finish, restart and test.
