    Combinations of SHIFT key + some keys are not working.


    I have a problem where my combinations of shift + some keys are not working. I want to know whether this is a system software or a hardware problem. As you can see, I have to use CAPSLOCK key to type the capital letters. It seems like my SHIFT+a to ; except G and H and t,y,[,],\ keys does not work. I cannot type using shift+s. Other combinations work just fine. Both SHIFT keys are not working. Here I try all SHIFT+keys and these are the results,~!#$%^&*_+ works just fineQWERUIOP the T Y and three symbols keys does not workGH" only these three keys

    :)

    Contol + Shift key combinations functions not working


    I have just purchased a new HP Envy Laptop model 15-A E05SA. and have upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1.
    However, for some reason the Control + Shift key plus other key combination functions do not seem work.
    For example Ctrl+Shift+f9 should remove all hyperlinks from selected document text also Ctrl+Shift+ should magnify page, etc but do not work.
    The Ctrl key, Shift key and function keys work normally individually but not in a combination.
    I would welcome any guidance.
    Thanks.

    Shift+4 key combination not working

    The shift key works fine and so does the 4 key however when I try to use the Shift+4 key combination nothing happens. I have tested multiple keyboards and even the On-Screen keyboard and have had no success in getting the key combination to work.

    the key combination stooped working a couple days before the official release of windows 10 whilst I was still on the technical preview. I had expected it to be fixed when the update came for the official version of windows 10 however it is still broken.

    any help would be greatly appreciated
