  1. CTRL and Tab key sometimes virtually stuck, starting to happen with other keys as well...


    I've recently noticed that, sometimes, while I'm using my PC as normal, the CTRL or Tab key suddenly gets virtually stuck, however my keyboard is not having any problems. I am using a Bootcamped 1st Gen Late 2014 Mac Mini.

    A reset, turn off and on or logout and login seems to temporarily fix the issue, however it always comes back up after some hours.

    I have tried: - Pressing, holding and repeatedly pressing said keys (including 1 and 2 CTRL keys) - Unplugging and plugging the keyboard - Uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard's drivers - Turning off every accessibility option.

    Additionally, I have now noticed that the down arrow key is having the same problem, and I'm scared other keys may do that as well. How can I stop this from happening? Any help is appreciated!

    CTRL key acts as if it's stuck?

    Hey!

    I'm running Windows 10, and for a few weeks now, it has been acting as if the CTRL key is jammed. I replaced my keyboard with multiple others, and the problem persisted. I read a few forums, and one suggested to press both CTRL keys at the same time,
    which only worked once. Then, another said to open the virtual keyboard. This showed clearly that the keys were indeed held down, but I couldn't deactivate them from there, so it really didn't help. Are there any fixes to this?
