4] Turn off Filter Keys, Sticky Keys and Toggle Keys
Filter keys allows Windows 10 to suppress or discard keystrokes sent too fast, or keystrokes sent simultaneously. Sticky keys, on the other hand, cause modifier keys such as SHIFT and CTRL to stick until released, or till the specific keystroke combination is entered and Toggle keys causes Windows 10 to emit a beep or audible indicator when any lock keys are pressed. So, if these keys are turned on, you will hear beeping sounds when typing. In this case, you can turn these keys off. Here’s how:
- Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
- Tap or click Ease of Access.
- On the left pane, scroll down and click Keyboard.
- On the right pane, toggle the button to Off for Filter Keys, Sticky Keys and Toggle Keys.

That’s it!
