  1. Key continues to be entered


    When I'm on my log in page to enter my password in order to gain access to my computer, whichever key i press it will continusly enter that key without me doing anything. Once the character limit has been reached i press backspace and it deletes everything itself and starts the process again... Any idea what this could be? Im currently using a secondary bluetooth keybaord and neither the laptop keyboard or bluetooth keyboard resloves the problem. So I'm guessing it has something to do with the software?

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

    The information which you have provided is not enough for us to determine the issue. Please provide us more information.

    • Does Enter key works properly while using other apps/programs?


    Kindly follow the below given methods and check if issue persist.

    Method 1:

    This issue may arise due to keyboard issue while pressing Enter key. I suggest you to run
    the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click on Hardware and Devices.

    Method 2:

    This issue may also occur due to some system file corruption.
    I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin)
      to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.
    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
      • Close the command prompt and restart the system and check if it works.

    Issues with entering recovery key for safe mode

    Hello,

    Apology for the delay in response.

    What is the make and model of your device?

    Did you tried using function keys(F1-F10) to enter BitLocker recovery key?

    Did you tried using some other external keyboard?

    Suggest you to disable the Bit locker Drive Encryption to see if it helps. You can follow the below mentioned steps and check if it helps

    To turn off BitLocker Drive Encryption:


    • Click Start, type Manage BitLocker and select same from the list.

    • Under BitLocker Drive Encryption, find the drive on which you want BitLocker Drive Encryption turned off(I.e. In this case you system drive), and click
      Turn Off BitLocker.

    • A message is displayed, informing you that the drive will be decrypted and that decryption may take some time. Click
      Decrypt the drive to continue and turn off BitLocker on the drive.

    Once done, try to check if you're able to boot into Safe Mode successfully.

    Keep us posted for any concerns with windows, we're glad to assist you.
