God how do I get this to stop?! PC question...

I swear, just typing the title of this post it happened 3 times!

The problem...

I can be typing away, and then out of nowhere, I will hit the letter "t" and a new tab will open. The is the most frustrating thing I have ever encountered. ( and we all know how patient I am!)

Do you realize how many times we use the letter "t"?? Trust me...lots!...lol

Just typing this, I have 6 new tabs that have opened up.

Does anyone have a clue how to make this stop?

It's no secret, I'm not pc-savy. And I've tried to figure this one out, to no avail.

Start + Settings + Control Panel + Accessibility Options. Is Sticky Keys turned on? If so, turn it off.

It was turned "on".

Hopefully this solves my issue.

That can also happen if you're accidentally hitting the ctrl button at the same time. Also, sometimes the key will get "stuck", electronically or mechanically. Tap the ctrl key a few times (both the left and right ctrl key. )

Remember those days where you could take typing class in high school?....lol

I type extremely fast. So, this very well could be partially self-inflicted.

But, I haven't had any issues since I adjusted the settings.

Have you tried turning it off and then turning it on again?
