How is Sticky Keys activated?

  1. Pressing CTRL 5 times

  2. Left shift 5 times

  3. Pressing CAPS LOCK 3 times

  4. Right shift 4 times

The correct answer is: Left shift 5 times

Sticky Keys is a feature in Windows that allows users to press one key at a time rather than holding down multiple keys at once. This is useful for individuals with disabilities or those who have difficulty pressing multiple keys simultaneously. The correct way to activate Sticky Keys is by pressing the left shift key five times. Pressing the CTRL key five times (option A) activates Filter Keys, not Sticky Keys. Pressing CAPS LOCK three times (option C) activates Toggle Keys, which provides an audio notification when the CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK keys are pressed. Right shift four times (option D) does not activate any Windows accessibility features.
