Windows 10: Ctrl key being held continuously

Ctrl key on my key board is held continuously and if I press ctrl key once it is unlocking for 2 sec and getting into locked position again. I'm unable to work with that turned off sticky keys, toggle keys etc and cleaned my ctrl key slot.

ALT and CTRL key gets automatically pressed (held)

Hey Derrick thanks for the suggestion.

Tried this today and the problem persists.

ALT key still gets automatically pressed and on screen keyboard shows both CTRL keys being held.

Yes I still have this problem using an external keyboard as well.

Nero.

 

When held down, the Ctrl key rapidly repeats

With the last two versions of Windows 10 pro, my ctrl key cannot be held down without the result rapidly repeating. This is evidenced by a circle on the screen which appears to be blinking really fast. Normally the ctrl key would indicate where the mouse
is. It still does, but cannot be used as a selection tool. I have been able to get some relief by setting the sticky keys to "ON", but not allowing the shortcut key to start Sticky keys,

Toggle keys is left on.

I would like a way to resolve this back to the way it worked before.

Thanks in advance.
