2. Navigate to Feedback in the left menu, then press + Add new feedback.
3. Select the Problem, and share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.
4. Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking Begin monitoring (or Start capture) near the end of the form; Stop monitoring when you're done.
5. Once you've completed the form and monitoring, click Submit.

No.

I want the registry data. I'm more than willing to take my chances, thank you. Submitting issues using the Feedback Hub is a joke. Nice way to try to pass the buck. Not happening.

I want the registry location, and the code. I'll figure out the values on my own if you won't give them to me. If I have to figure out the registry location and code on my own, I'm going to post the results here with EXPLICIT instructions on how EVERYONE can finally get rid of something that should have died in Windows 98.

I built my own computer. I've modded games so heavily that they looked like a fricking photo. Editing the registry is NOTHING to me. I could do that in my sleep.

Give me the registry location and key to search for to disable it.

I doubt there's only one location/key to disable all of those features, Have you thought of going into Ease of Access and turning off the features you don't want? It doesn't sound like you know it's possible. It's quite simple really. Or have you tried Binging/Googling what you want to do? 

Should have died in 98? I'm sure you understand there are people who actually need some/all of those features.

I've already turned them off. Think it's off, right? Nope.

Playing game.
Boss fight.
Button mashing.
Suddenly, keyboard no longer functions properly.
Now, Q acts like ALT+TAB.
TAB acts like Windows key.
****?
Ease of Access.
Everything is off.
Why, keyboard?
Restart computer.
Keyboard back to normal.

I want it erased. Gone. Finito. Kaput. If you want to keep it, fine. Good on you. I don't want it nor need it. And I'm pretty sure the control panel itself can be suppressed through regedit--I know Cortana can be.

I want keyboard macros, shortcuts, hotkeys, whatever is doing that, gone. I've had this happen before, and I know it's one thing only, but I can't remember what it is. Therefore, I posted here, seeking the proper registry key which I will then delete/disable. Problem solved.
So, I'll thank you ahead of time for posting the proper registry key and value to be inserted.

You know it's one thing only in Windows 10? In XP, it seems to be according to this pg. We're a long ways from XP, ya know. Things aint so simple anymore. Edit: Removed link.

I don't KNOW the proper registry keyS. Have you tried searching for what you want to do? You didn't answer that. If there were/is an easy way, I'm sure you can find out yourself.

You need to understand, while some of us post registry tweaks/hacks once in awhile, this isn't just a simple tweak you want to do. Keep in mind, some things can't be posted on these forums either, for various reasons. This forum is for helping users fix Windows related issues, not break them. ;-)

That's a start...

It's the sticky keys, I think. They weren't on, but the keyboard sure acted like they were. But since those are part of the Accessibility suite, they can go. I probably wouldn't delete the folder in case MS wants it to verify the legitimacy of the Windows copy, but keep it on the desktop.

Yes, I've tried searching. Google has turned to such a crappy search engine that I don't even bother using it anymore. Tried Bing (can you say, Irony?), still nothing...big surprise. Everything I was finding was way too old or had nothing to do with my search terms...finding the reg edit for something like a timer resolution tweak or forcing the cores to unpark? Pff. Easy to find. This? Not so much. I may just search for that registry key.

Pretty sure there's not much dependent upon the Ease of Access whatever.

This is fixing Windows...by getting rid of something I will never use, never need, and don't want. I understand about not posting something security-related on here, but those sticky keys or whatever have to go. Tired of accidentally activating it.

You mean to say you hadn't even tried searching for the Accessibility keyS in registry editor?? Oh, boy... I knew where it was without searching. Good luck. Try not to hose the works. ;-)

No, i didnt search the registry because it is my experience that anything i touch i wreck. So i figured id put google to the test (it failed), and then Bing (it, too, failed), rather than putzing with the regedit. 

Im used to breaking Skyrim and Fallout 4, not my OS.

if i hose the works then goodbye MS, hello Linux. 

But if thats the case, ill just start combing through the system files and when i find a folder that says Ease Of Access or something similar, ill just delete it. If it borks the OS then ill just do without MS and their top shelf bloatware.

No, i didnt search the registry because it is my experience that anything i touch i wreck.

IRONY overload. :)  Before you do anything in regedit, you probably should back up the registry key/s and create a System Restore point.

Anyway, keep in mind Sticky Keys isn't the only sound. That sticky keys thing pops up, so it's a no-brainer to realize if it's sticky keys that's the problem. There's caps lock, numlock AND browsers have hot key shortcuts, but I dunno about sounds.

I was gonna suggest a Linux box for games. Can you play your game by booting to a Linux CD instead of Windows? Anyhow, it's been fun. I'd be interested to know how things go.

Oh, believe you me, I know all about making a back up. *looks at the trail of digital wreckage left from modding Skyrim and Fallout 4*

Sound? There's no issue with the sound. It's the keys. I use the WASD keys for gaming, along with a few nearby keys, Q, E, R, F, X, TAB, CTRL and SHIFT. I was playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. There is some button mashing involved in the middle of a boss fight, and I'm not paying attention to the keys I'm pressing besides the WASD and spacebar and Q. It isn't CAPS LOCK. All that does is force a crouch to stay enabled.

I remember something about...hitting SHIFT and ENTER...? That combo seems vaguely familiar for some reason. I dunno. Nothing pops up when the game is active because of the way the Steam overlay/UI works. It will remain the active window no matter what pops up. And when I shut it down (I didn't even have to ALT+TAB, just pressing Q and W, independent of each other, seem to have taken up the property of becoming ALT+TAB) there's no window waiting for Sticky Keys. Shortcut keys, maybe? I don't know. That's the problem.

Yes, I realize the problem needs to be defined before you can fix it. Unlike modding Skyrim, this isn't a moving target. I'm positive it has something to do with Windows' Ease of Access/Shortcut Keys/Sticky Keys, because I had this problem before, and can't remember the solution (but it was just a temporary fix, i.e., turning it off, as opposed to disabling it, which is now what I want to do).

lol Here's the thing about Linux. I know vaguely what a distro is, I know what Linux is, and beyond that, it's witchcraft. I've heard of Linux boxes, but I think Steam has issues running in Linux (I know the script extender for Skyrim has problems running in Linux, unfortunately, and SKSE is the only way to get mods to load into the game, bypassing the Steam launcher, Skyrim.exe). I've run DOSBox before (for all that glorious 8-bit gaming--hello, Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender!), and Regedit doesn't scare me (mostly because I'm already aware that it's a minefield).

Once I do find the solution, I will post it here in case other gamers have the same issue (and I can't imagine I'm the only one). Steam gamers already expect Windows to play hell on the system, especially since updates can bork a 200+ mod game that took a week to set up.

Thank you, though, no matter the results. Maybe MS will take a cue from the modding community and make Windows more like a FOMod installer where you can select the features that will be most useful, and not install the ones you have zero use for, not just the "personalization" it walks you through currently.
