Windows 10: Can't press the "w" and "2" keys at the same time while playing video games.

I bought my PC About 5 months ago and haven't had any issues up to this point. But 2 days ago I noticed that while playing any game I am not able to press "w" and "2" at the same time, as well as some other key combinations. I have looked online and thought that keyboard ghosting could be the issue. This would make sense, but this hasn't been a problem until 2 days ago. I have tried resetting my computer and some other general troubleshooting tricks. I have researched my keyboard and it shouldn't have any ghosting problems. Same with my PC. Again this was not a problem until 2 days ago. I can post my specs if needed. Any suggestions?

Only 'W' key stucks while playing games.

While playing games, W key have been started to stuck. I mean; when I stop to press W key, my chracter still moving forward and after 2-3 seconds it automaticly stops moving. This situtiation only happens when I press W key for 2-3 seconds. Only happens in games and only happens for W key.

Things I tried;
-Disabled Anti-virus, Razer Cortex, MSI Afterbunner etc.
-Unchecked 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'
-Updated drivers

This problem makes impossible to play games.

 

Video card driver crashing when playing games

We suggest that you rollback your driver. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R to open run dialog box.
• In the dialog box window, type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
• Right click on your video card driver -> Properties ->
  Driver tab and select Rollback driver.

If the issue persists, it could be better to contact the developer of the game.

Regards.

 

video not playing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. May I know, which video player you are using to play the video?
   
2. Are you able to play the video on any other computer?
   
3. Are you facing the issue with only specific video or with all the other videos?
   

This issue could also occur when the USB or SD card is corrupted when you have transferred the video.

Try the troubleshooting methods provided below to further narrow down the root cause of the issue.

Method 1: Try a different video player.

1. Try to use a different USB to transfer the video, if you are playing it on other computer or device.
   
2. I suggest you to try a different video player and check if it plays.
   
3. You can also check on different device or computer.
   

Step: Run Windows Media player troubleshooter.

1. Press Windows + R key on your keyboard together.
2. Copy and paste the below command and run each at a time and follow the onscreen instruction on the troubleshooter
3. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerConfigurationDiagnostic
4. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerLibraryDiagnostic
5. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerDVDDiagnostic
6. Reboot the computer and check.
