Windows Key Beeps and Keyboard Start Menu Not Working

2021-05-15 None of these have worked to date.

Driving me crazy . . .

First but only temporary

Press "shift" 5 times in a row

***More permanent is reregister the Windows Key

Reregister the Windows Key

1. Open Task Manager, click File > Run new task. 

2. Type powershell in the Create new task box. Check the option 'Create this task with administrative privileges'. Click OK. 

3. In the administrative Windows PowerShell window, type/paste following and press Enter key: 

Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)} 

4. Let it complete and then restart your system.

This seemed to work but it came back . . .

***So Now I'm Trying This

Rename sethc.exe to sethc.exe.old

You will need to take ownership of the file to change the name

***If that does not work try this

You may try the registry key settings as below:

Click on start and in the start search box type regedit and press enter. In the registry editor make the following changes.

1.     Disable Sticky Keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys]

“Flags”=”506″

2.     Disable Filter Keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response]

“Flags”=”122″

3.     Disable Toggle Keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys]

“Flags”=”58″

Note: one can completely disable accessibility options by renaming/deleting the registry-node Accessibility (above)

flag 0 works on sticky but hurts in games

These are the original settings

response 126
sticky 56
toggle 62
