    ALT key is stuck on permanently, can't type


    Hi thereHaving a really frustrating issue on my Lenovo Ideapad Laptop.Suddenly, whenever I clicked on a folder, the properties box would come up instead of opening the folder. Frustrated, I thought it might be an update bug and closed my laptop to use the next day.Read online my ALT key was likely stuck down. The next day, went to go check things out on my laptop, and I couldn't even log in because the ALT key is held down so I can't type.I don't use my laptop keyboard because my friend spilled a cup of tea on it and it's been kinda jenky to use since. I use a USB wireless keyboard with a touc
