How to Select Accessibility Tools to Automatically Start At or After Sign-in on Windows 11
Accessibility tools in Windows 11 help you use your PC easily by starting automatically the moment you turn on your computer or log into your account. You can set up built-in helpers like the Narrator, Magnifier, or On-Screen Keyboard to open right at the sign-in screen, a few moments later, or both.
Open Control Panel , then Ease of Access Center. Click Change sign-in settings and select “At sign-in” or “After sign-in” for desired assistive technologies. Save your choices by clicking OK.
Getting these tools ready ahead of time saves you from having to turn them on manually every time you start Windows 11.
- On-Screen Keyboard: Type without a physical keyboard by using a keyboard on your screen.
- Sticky Keys: Press keyboard shortcuts one key at a time instead of all at once.
- Filter Keys: Ignore repeated or accidental key presses.
- Mouse Keys: Use the number pad to move your mouse pointer around the screen.
- Toggle Keys: Hear a sound when you press Caps⇩, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock.
