Locking your keyboard can be useful when you need to clean it or leave your computer unattended. In Windows 11, you can easily lock and unlock your keyboard using a simple keyboard shortcut. Here’s how to do it.
First, make sure your keyboard is working properly by typing something on the screen. Then, press and long-press the Shift key on your keyboard for about 8-10 seconds. You will hear a beep sound and see a message asking if you want to turn off Filter Keys. Click “Yes” to lock your keyboard.
Once your keyboard is locked, you won’t be able to type anything until you unlock it. To unlock your keyboard, press and long-press the Shift key again for about 8-10 seconds. You will hear a long beep sound, and your keyboard will be unlocked.
To make sure your keyboard is locked, try typing something on the notepad or any software. If your keyboard is locked, nothing will happen. If it’s unlocked, you’ll be able to type normally.
