Tim's Tech Tips

From user: ABUALTAI

Problem:

"I have a problem with my computer. it will caps lock without pressing the caps lock key and on the desktop when i select any icon it will sellect or the icons on the right side and above how to solve this problem"

Solution:

You have sticky keys or something along those lines turned on.
To deactivate it, try one of the following:
Tap shift 2 times in a row. (This turns off StickyKeys specifically, but there are other accessibility options which can be turned off by doing the following.)
Hold shift and control at the same time for one second.
Hold both shift keys at the same time for one second.
To turn the feature off, open your control panel and go to accessibility options then select the settings for all 3 of those options and turn it on, hit OK, hit apply, then turn it off, hit OK and hit apply, all one-at-a-time. I don’t know why, but windows sometimes doesn’t like to accept the change unless you do it that way.

 

Alternatively, your shift key is physically stuck. :-P

 

Hope this helps, Abual!
