Every time I use sticky keys, after a while it shuts itself down and resets
my desktop defaults ,wall paper etc, very irritating , have checked many
times for viruses etc
While it's common for Windows to "burp" and reset the position of desktop
items, it's very odd for so many display settings to be changed. I have no
idea why that would happen. Suggestion: Set desktop up the way that you
want. Restart computer to see if the desktop choices are preserved or not.
If they are not saved, see this web page for a possible fix:

If they hold but sticky keys continues to cause a reset, you might try
Control Panel (classic view)> Accessibility Options: On the general page
there is a setting to turn off/not to turn off "accessibility features
after idle for (x) minutes. You could turn this off or try a different time
limit.
If you disabled this setting entirely, you could turn sticky keys off/on
when you want to. Hopefully turning it off manually will not cause the same
reset problem.
