  1. Dirty key sensor, power tools not working 100%.


    So recently I got the censor on one of my keys dirty, I'm assuming and it was spamming non stop, I used power tools to disable it but when I play certain games it spams again which effects me playing games. I tried to re route it to useless keys I don't use like the VK keys or some of the F keys that are not even on my keyboard but it still spams.

  2. Dirty Power?

    Probably not dirty power. Your psu should condition it

    First step is to re-install the audio driver

    Completely remove the current driver and install the newest driver available. For instructions on how to do that Read all about updating drivers by my partner JMH3143 here Redirecting

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Use the hardware troubleshooter to fix the issue

    The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which will check the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues with it and provides the details and on how to fix them. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.

    • Type Troubleshooting in the search box right up corner and hit enter.
    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Select the power options from the list.
    • Click Next to run the power Troubleshooter.
    Method 2: Also I suggest you to create a new power plan and check if it helps.

    • Go to control panel and then click on power options.
    • Then click on create new power plan.
    • Change the power plan accordingly and check.

    Dirty Power?

    I believe i may have some dirty power going on atm, every day or so when listening to music or youtube videos, there will be some crackling happening with the audio, also my computer takes longer to start, even with an SSD card. When i flush the power
    (take power cord out of power supply and hit power button, then reconnect power supply and start comp) it loads up really fast and there is no crackling.

    My power supply is fine, i have only had it for a year and its a Thermaltake 750W Gold. Anyone know how i could be getting this? and/if how to fix?
