Windows 10: Can't type lower case E on laptop Keyboard.

The lowercase E doesn't work on my regular keyboard. I have to use an external one. I additionally, cannot use 3, capslock, or the numpad's enter without pressing shift or using an external keyboard. Some people with a similar issue noted that they had some gaming software using the blocked keys as hotkeys. Can I check for this somehow? Additionally, I have reinstalled my drivers several times and booted in safe mode. I'm at a loss now.

Lower case s not working on my keyboard

Hi

very strange thing happened a few days ago, the lower case s stopped working on my keyboard, I could get every other key, inc Uppercase S.

I tried the usual, uninstall drivers etc, ( found there were 2 keyboards listed ? Uninstalled both, but they both came back ) then took the KB apart and washed the plastic keys....put it together and the lower case s worked fine, sorted, or so I thought, then it stopped working again, assumed it was a hardware fault and bought a new MS keyboard, plugged it in and ALL the keys worked perfectly, until this evening, when the lower case s stopped working again...OMG*Mad I couldn’t believe it. found an article on the Internet that said I should turn OFF sticky keys, didn’t even know it was on ( maybe default ? ) anyway uninstalled both keyboards again, as per the procedure and now the lower case s key is working again, for now anyway.....any ideas what’s been happening ???

 

Lower case s not working on my keyboard

Yes but it’s done this before works for a week or so then stops again, which is even odder...I only installed the fancy MS App as it installed the correct driver, when the s key first stopped working amd it was fixed, but then stopped again....so not totally convinced, maybe should delete the app, delete the driver and install a basic one.....somehow......is that a plan ???

but if the problem remained with the on screen keyboard, doesn’t that mean it’s not driver related, more of a key being reassigned maybe ???

just stopped working again, uninstalled MS keyboard amd mouse app uninstalled keyboard drivers ( 2 KBs showing ) and will see

NOPE still no lower case s......if I put CAPS lock on amd use shift inget a lower case s....but doesn’t ebbed work with the on screen keyboard......any ideas p l e a s e ???

Problem solved......I use an app for elgato game capture and it had s as a hot key to start recording, this is why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t....If I have run the app, it disappears...I fix it then use the app again....have changed the hot key to Pause, which I never use......took a while but got there, albeit accidentally thanks for all the help

 

Lower case s not working on my keyboard

Bought a new keyboard, assuming mine was faulty and amazingly, the lower case s didn’t work on the new keyboard. I have downloaded MS keyboard ‘pack’ and installed the actual keyboard driver.....since doing this and turning off sticky keys it has been working fine.....

any ideas please ???
