    So yesterday i was playing a game and suddenly i could move anymore, and that happens after every 30 mins of use from the pc, only restart helpsi didnt know what happened and for example the "O" key opened outlook and that meant win key was pressed but i didnt press it at allthe next thing i did is open the on screen kb and look what keys are being pressed, i saw both ctrl keys pressed, the win key, both shift keys and both alt keys pressed. All of that at the same time, nothing but a restart helps, dont know what causes this, no clue at all.Can someone please help?

    :)

    Ctrl Shift Win Alt keys not working

    Hi,

    Just as the title suggests my shift, ctrl, win alt keys are not working. I have tried turning off sticky keys and other solutions online but the issue remains the same. This is the second time it happened, the first time was resolved when I had a BIOS firmware update but now this also didn't work.

    CTRL+SHIFT+8 and some others not working

    Okay thanks. Didn't know that tool.
    It does list Ctrl+Shift+, 3 & 8. But it doesn't say what they're registered to. (And nothing seems to happen when I press them.)

    The tool turns up a very short list, by the way, compared to the screenshots on that site. Just these three plus:
    Hot Key : Alt+Ctrl+Delete
    Hot Key : Alt+Ctrl+J (I know what this is from)
    Hot Key : Alt+Ctrl+K (Kindle)
    Hot Key : Alt+F4
