Note: The following explanation is for your reference.

1. In Options, if the option of Lock modifier keys when pressed twice in row is selected, when you press Ctrl, Alt or Shift twice, the key is under locked (or pressed) state until you click it again.

2. If the option of Turn off Sticky Keys when two keys are pressed at once is chosen, you can use any two keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Windows Logo Key+F…) to turn off Sticky Keys.

3. In Feedback, suppose the box before Display the Sticky Keys icon on the task bar is checked, the Sticky Keys icon will be shown on the task bar later.
