    Accidentally enabled some weird setting regarding typing


    So I was gaming and I accidentally pressed some combination of keys (keyboard shortcut), and then whenever I pressed any key on my keyboard it would open some setting on my Windows or open Microsoft Bing, etc. I don't know what did I accidentally activate so I'd like to find out what I activated and how can I disable it manually and prevent it from happening in the future without having to restart my PC like I did the last time it happened to me because I didn't know how to disable it otherwise.

    The first thing you want to do is to Restart your PC. This usually clears up a lot of things.
    You might have turned on Sticky Keys Turn On or Off Sticky Keys in Windows 10

    Well it could be that, I remember pressing F1 and it took me to Microsoft Edge and it searched automatically something in context of "windows 10 help" or something. It could be Windows Ink & Typing if not Sticky Keys. Thanks for the quick response.
