I was typing a Word document. I lost my train of thought and held
down the Shift key for several seconds. A message box appeared that
said something about "Filter Keys". I didn't know what that meant.
Now, in order to type, I must first hold down my Shift key for 8
seconds or else the curser just blinks but does not allow me to
type. I cannot figure out how to go back to just being able to type
without first holding down the Shift key!
Go to Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Accessibility Options. Uncheck
the "Use FilterKeys" box.
To avoid this happening again, also click the Settings button for FilterKeys
and uncheck the "Use shortcut" box.
