Computer acts as if the CTRL key is pressed down when it is not

Hey guys,

I've been experiencing an issue with my pc (Windows 10) recently where my computer acts as if the CTRL key is pressed down when in fact it is not. For example, typing "w" in a web browser executes the CTRL + w command, and so forth. Viewing the onscreen
keyboard confirms that the CTRL key is pressed down. Here are the things I have tried to fix this:

• press both CTRL keys for 15 seconds
• turn off sticky keys, toggle keys, and filter keys
• switch out my keyboard
• plug my keyboard into a different usb port
• uninstall and reinstall my keyboard drivers
• hold CTRL + Shift for 15 seconds
• reinstall windows
• run system file checker

The problem seems to be completely random, but occurs mostly when I'm running a program other than a web browser, such as a game. Any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Alt key is acting like it's being repeatedly pressed

Hi,

I have an issue that just started popping up after I installed the latest update, I do not know if it's related, but my Alt key starts to act like someone is pressing it repeatedly. It's not steady or continuous, but it is persistant and I can't actually
find a way to stop it. I pulled up the onscreen keyboard and it seemed like it stopped for a bit. That was this morning, this evening it's back to the usual behaviour and I can see both Alt keys flashing on and off. It was extremely noticeable in firefox where
the alt key hides and shows the top menues. I have done a few virus and malware scans and even windows own scans and error checking and nothing is being found. I deleted the drivers for the keyboard and mouse and didn't find that this helped at all. Anyone
have any idea what could be causing this and what might fix it? Doing a clean reformat isn't an option at the moment, but obviously I'll do it if needed, but I'd like that to be a last resort.

 

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?
