CTRL white box appearing when I use hot keys

[JonDV]

Hello,

I'm trying to get rid of the little white "Ctrl" box that appears whenever I use a hot ket in Photoshop. I'm trying to screen record a drawing but when I play back the video I keep getting this box that appears for a second whenever I use the ctrl key. Please see image for example. Thanks for any help you can provide.

@JonDV thats not a Photoshop GUI icon. Check your Windows Accessibilty settings.

@Kevin Stohlmeyer Thank you. What should I change in the Windows Accessibility settings?

@JonDV after rereading your post - is this something that is generated by the screen recording software? Check the options there - I have screenflow which does allow me to show hot keys when recording.

@Kevin Stohlmeyer No. It does seem to be a Windows thing because it happens in different applications. Can't seem to find how to turn it off. 

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@JonDV but you aren't seeing it live while using the software - there must be a setting the screen record software to record hot keys. What app are you using to create your screen recording?

[JonDV]

@Kevin Stohlmeyer I do see it even when not using screen recording software. I'm using ShareX for screen recording, but I'm pretty sure it's a Windows thing.

@Kevin Stohlmeyer I finally figured it out. I had to go into to my Wacom Tablet Properties and turn off Windows Ink. Unfortunately that also turns off pressure sensitivity (which I need) so I also had to dig around to find a workaround for that. Anyway, I appreciate all the help!
