Windows 10: F1 key acts like its being held down

My F1 key acts like its being held down. I checked my F1 key no debris or dust its a fairly new laptop I got it 2 months ago. This just started happening where my F1 key acts like its being held down even though physically its not. This has happened before with the CTRL key but I fixed by spamming CRTL-Windows. I have resetted my windows and deleted my keyboard and reinstalled it and also booted it in safe mode but the problem still stays. I need any help on how to fix this.

Incorrect functionality with the computer that acts like Tab key is being held down on Windows 10

Recently my PC started this habit where it acts like tab is being pressed down and it moves on to different clickable things and moves off of things I'm trying to stay on. This can make it hard to type and it gets so frustrating, I have to restart my computer,
which fixes the problem only temporarily, but it eventually does the dame thing again. I don't believe this is a problem with my keyboard, as restarting fixes this. Any help given would be really appreciated.

Volume connected with f1- can't get it to work

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we would like to know the details requested below:

• When you say, “the volume wont work its connected to the f1 key” are you not able to get sound on your computer?
  
• Which update was installed on the computer? To check go to
  Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> View update history.
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type: winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

Ideally, the F1 key is used as the help key in most of the programs. It opens a help screen when the F1 key is pressed.



Meanwhile, you may want to try the steps mentioned below:



If you are trying to use the F1 key to control volume on the computer, you may want to press
Fn key + F1 and see if that helps.



However, if you do not get sound on your computer, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Fix sound problems in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.

Laptop acting like ctrl key being held down

My laptop is acting like the ctrl key is constantly being pressed down. I tried many solutions I could find online like troubleshooting keyboard, checking for updates, uninstalling the update that it stopped working after, pressing a series of keys. Nothing has worked. I wonder if the update was the issue but the computer won't let me not have it installed.
