Windows has some accessibility options, which can be quite annoying if you don't need them. For example, if you hold some key down for several seconds or type some key repetitively an altered input method will be enabled, accompanied by beeps and popups, which at the very least are very distracting. Fortunately, this can be disabled.
Go to Control Panel -> Ease of Access Center and untick everything you don't need. You'll find the most annoying features in the "Make the keyboard easier to use" menu.
