Hi,



It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

• Does the issue occur only while playing game?
• Does the issue occur while using any other apps?
• Are you referring to Windows Store games or Desktop games?

I would suggest you to make sure that the keys are not pressed by mistake. I would suggest you to restart the computer in clean boot and then try to play the game and check if the issue persists as clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.
