Windows 10: Cant Type Apostrophes - And None of The Other Solutions Work

I havent been able to type apostrophes in over a year. The best I can do is copy paste them.

*I have used 7 different keyboards on this desktop and it didnt work on any of them

*My Keyboard is set to English US

*I can type quotes fine

*I can create macros to try and type an apostrophe with a key press event through razer synapse, and it still doesnt work.

*I have no other macro programs installed
*It doesnt matter if I hold they key or not

HOWEVER
*The key raise event, but not the key down event, registers on this website : https://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html

*I can type apostrophes in the console in skyrim

*I made another windows account on the same machine, and it can type apostrophes.

EDIT : I made a post on r/techsupport too

Computer Keeps Typing Apostrophe's

By replaced, do you mean you replaced it with a new laptop keyboard or a usb keyboard?

The reason I think its the laptop keyboard is becuase the apostrophe's are still being typed even with the usb keyboard unplugged. From my knowledge there is no way that the apostrophe can be typed by a program, unless its something like a voice recogniser.

Even though the laptop keyboard appears un-responsive it is likely that it is still connected internally. This probably means its the actual hardware of the keyboard and needs to be physcially unplugged from the motherboard (inside the laptop).

You could try a computer repair store that specialises in replacing specific parts (e.g touchpads, speakers, screens etc...) For me in New Zealand, I go to Harvey Norman who has their own seperate computer repair store. So you could try the store where you brought it from...

I suppose it could be a program that has a command to repeadly type apostrophes, but I find this very hard to believe as it happens at the login screen where most programs start up after the user has logged in.

Its a bit hard for me to help any further since I believe its more of a hardware problem and we can't get past the login screen. I'm open to any suggestions that other members on this forum might have.

 

Computer Keeps Typing Apostrophe's

My laptop keyboard is completely non-functional. It completely unresponsive since that family memeber cleaned it with wrong spray, and it wasn't typing apostrophe's from the start. It was only a month after we replaced the keyboard that the apostrophe thing happened. I don't know if it can be fixed, And I don't think it's even the problem, but what kind of shop do you want me to go to to get it replaced, if that's what I need to do?

 

Computer Keeps Typing Apostrophe's

Hi, it types apostrophe's as soon as I turn on the computer. I can type another key, or press backspace to stop the Horde of apostrophe's, but when I let go, it starts again. My keyboard is a Logitech K60 with a Logitech M215 mouse. I couldn't find a model number sticker for this computer, but I know it's an HP laptop. T keyboard was working fine for a month, then this started happening. I cannot access my computer, because I need to log in with my Microsoft account to do that, which I can't because of this problem.
