Windows 10: Down key stuck down(not physically) in network window in systray

So in Windows 10, all network connections are done in that little window in the system tray. Control panel just links to there as well. Well, I have a LAN cable giving me internet but sometimes I would like to connect to a wireless network such as my phone's hotspot. The problem is regardless of what network I select it is like the down key is being pressed and it just cycles through each network till it gets to the bottom. If I hold the up arrow key then it jumps around randomly selecting networks from the bottom to the top but still eventually rests on the bottom network.


I do have a macro keyboard and mouse. Logitech G Series for both of them. Logitech Gaming Software has a key logger that shows ever key being pressed on the mouse or keyboard and I used that to test if it was one of them doing it. The key logger showed that the only keys being pressed were what I intended to press and there were no phantom keystrokes in the background. At this point, the computer refuses to go into sleep mode because of this activity I assume. I have checked "powercfg -requests" and did not see any requests for the power to stay on.


I have Norton and have run scans to see if there is any malware but the scan came up clean.


I don't know how to fix this besides formatting my computer. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

  Click on Network troubleshooter.
  
• 
  Click on Advanced on the Network troubleshooter dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials
  if required).

uninstall and reinstall network driver and check.

  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device manager.
  
• 
  Locate for Network adaptor
  and expand it.
  
• 
  Right click on the device and click on

Windows key stuck (not physically)

Hi Vinay,

Let's try a different approach, we recommend that you run System File Checker
to check the system for any corruptions. Follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows +
  X, and then select Command
  Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type SFC /Scannow on the prompt, and then press Enter. This scan will repair system files.
  

Looking forward to your response.
