Windows 10: After pressing some unknown key, am I unable to type letters only letters on my laptop....

I have tried restarting my computer and unplugging my key and plugging it back in, I have tried a number of key combinations and that didn’t help

:)

 

After pressing some unknown key, am I unable to type letters (only letters) on my laptop. Cannot enter password to log onto computer.

My keyboard on my Windows 10 laptop usually works prefectly. However, after spamming my keyboard and pressing some key, I am unable to type letters. I can type numbers and special characters just fine, but not letters. I tried using the virtual keyboard, but I could not type letters there either. Sticky keys were turned off as well. So what is the problem? And how do I fix this? Reminder, I can't enter the password as it contains letters and am now stuck in lockscreen.

 

Possible to make shift key stick until letter is pressed?

It;s a bit cumbersome, but if you open the OnScreen Keyboard and press the Shift key, highlighting it, and type a letter on the OSK or on your keyboard, it will type the letter in Upper Case and then go back to Lower Case for any remaining letters you type. Of course, you could just press the Caps Lock key on your keyboard, type a letter and then turn Caps Lock Off for the remaining letters, just as well.
