Somehow I got unwanted 'Ease of Access' button on my screen. Did I hit Windows key?

[RandomName]

I mainly just want to be sure I am not infected with a virus!

I typed ctl -alt - del to get task manager. Task manager came up, but also 2 new buttons on my screen and a robotic woman's voice saying something about 'things can be easier now'. Weird.

One of the buttons says 'ease of access' .

They only appear when I type ctl alt del, but I want them to go away.

Thanks



I notice the Windows key is right between ctl and alt. Did that cause it?

Most likely.

That's a normal feature, but one you probably never saw before.

In my opinion, the easiest way to get to the Task Manager is to right click on an open area of your task bar and select Task Manager.

Thanks, Rich. I tried it and I like it! Goes straight to task manager, doesn't show all the other stuff. Thanks !

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to immediately open the Task Manager. Alternatively, right-click the Taskbar and select "Task Manager" to open it. You can also press Windows Key + X to open the Power User menu and select "Task Manager."
