Press Shift five times mid-game and Windows still asks “Do you want to turn on Sticky Keys?”, often dropping you out of a full-screen game. Windows 11 Insider builds released on November 6, 2026 (Beta 26320.9876, Experimental 26340.9882) add an option in the dialog to never be asked again, and the Filter Keys prompt (right Shift held for eight seconds) gets the same option. Regular Windows 11 PCs do not have it yet and Microsoft has given no date.

A short creator explainer of where the Sticky Keys settings live; it predates the new checkbox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTObw2H92sc
- Which game made the Sticky Keys or Filter Keys prompt pop up for you, and at what moment (sprinting, crouching, an ability on Shift)?
- Did it minimize your game or just make the chime? Did you lose a fight or a match because of it?
- Have you already turned the shortcut off in Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard, or did you only find out about that option now?
- Do you actually use Sticky Keys or Filter Keys? If so, what should Microsoft keep in mind so the feature stays easy to find for the people who need it?
- Are you on the Windows Insider Beta or Experimental channel? Does the new checkbox already show up on your PC?
