    I just took out my laptop (Dell) running Win 10 as I wanted to check something. I had not used it for some time and of course it went into auto-update mode. I am not sure if this caused the change or if I managed to hit some key before but at present I am getting frustrated by the typing sounds on the keyboard. I googled and looked at many suggestions but can't find any solution. If I go to control panel/sounds I can see the system sounds but nothing on keyboard sounds. I don't want to to turn off the speaker or sound totally, just don't need the sound when typing something in the browser or a notepad. I tried the "right" shift hold for 8 seconds but that did not work for me.It's not the onscreen touch pad or keyboard but the standard in built keyboard of the laptop.

    Stapp, sadly this is the first thread I stumbled across and it did not help me.

    Maybe you have an option in the BIOS to disable the typing sound. :cautious:

    This is more than weird - this morning when I booted the laptop, the issue was gone without doing anything further. I wonder if one of the settings I tried to change yesterday only worked after a reboot?

    That is possible, a change was effective only after a reboot.

    sorry, no I went through many different google links, many of them relating to touchscreens (so not relevant to me) and or trying to work out the culprit via control panel / sounds and then identify the sound. I tried the right shift hold and that "worked" to get me the ease of access centre and did adjust settings there. Can't say that I was really convinced by the options and was not surprised when the typing sound continued afterwards. I was holding off on Mood's suggestion to modify the registry - I am not daring enough to do that generally. Fortunately after the reboot the issue was gone. Sorry, I cannot be more specific.
