Microsoft is testing a “never ask again” checkbox for Sticky Keys and Filter Keys prompts in Windows 11 Insider builds. The option can stop the prompts appearing without removing the accessibility features; Microsoft has not said when it may reach regular Windows 11 PCs.

The updated prompts include a checkbox to prevent them from appearing again, while retaining a link to Sticky Keys settings.
The Sticky Keys prompt can appear after Shift is pressed five times; Filter Keys has a shortcut prompt too.
The change is in Insider builds; TechPowerUp identifies Beta build 26320.9876 and Experimental build 26340.9882, released November 6.
Sticky Keys remains available through Settings, and the existing settings retain related controls.
Microsoft has not announced when the changed prompts will reach regular Windows 11 releases.
