    Every 30 minutes or so, I press any button on my keyboard and it pulls up random stuff.


    One of my friends was playing on my PC and we were done so I told him to shut it off, I don't know what he was thinking but he just took the power cord out the back of it, after that when I turned it back on it did some repair thing, and since then this problem started happening. So every 30 minutes or so, my keyboard goes crazy, for example if I press E file explorer pops up, W whiteboard and snip pops up, and so on. Any fixes or has anyone had this problem? It's really annoying to restart every time. I have a high spec pc, i7 8700k and 2070.

    Hi Ananth,

    • Click on “Start” button located on your computer screen.
    • Type “Device Manager”, a window will open and in the navigation pane search for “Keyboard”, then right click to check the detail regarding the driver.
    The next step is to Go to your Laptop/Computer Manufacturer's website > Drivers and Downloads Section > Key in your Model number > Look for latest Windows 10 Drivers for it > Download/install
    them.

    Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Hi,

    I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if that resolves the issue.

    Method 1: I suggest you to run System File Checker, which will check your system for missing, corrupt or damaged files and attempt to fix them.

    Please refer the article on “How to run System File Checker” and check if that helps.

    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-gb

    Method 2:

    DISM:

    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:


    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth


    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.
