Windows 10: Game getting frozen and keys getting stuck

I have a recurring problem that is, sometimes when I'm playing, for example Minecraft, GTA SA or Forza, my game hangs for a few seconds and when it returns to normal, the key I was pressing is stuck for a few seconds, or the game is frozen for a few seconds. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?

E key gets stuck in games (Windows)

I should note that E is the physical key on the keyboard; I use Dvorak so the character the key enters is actually ".". I also use ESDF instead of WSAD, so E is my forwards-key (like W in WSAD). I'm on a laptop so there's no issues with a USB keyboard.

In games like Minecraft and SMITE, it gets stuck sometimes. I continue running forward for maybe three to four seconds, then stop. Sometimes it also doesn't work anymore and I can't go forward for a few seconds. When I open chat in Minecraft, I can't write anything with that key.

It only seems to happen if I hold the key down for a long time (which only happens when I'm gaming, basically). I never had the issue during normal typing and it doesn't happen with other keys it seems.

I have disabled Sticky Keys and I've tried messing with the Filter keys and general keyboard settings to minimize the key repeat rate. It seems to help a little bit (it continues to get "stuck" but not for as long as before) but I still have the issue.

Other people seem to have had similar problems but didn't find a solution.

 

Keyboard keys get stuck only in games

Whenever I play games that involve using the keyboard, my keys get stuck in one direction and i have to press the key again to stop the character from moving that direction. I just got this laptop a few days ago and Im really not sure what's going on.

 

Task Switcher randomly gets stuck cycling windows


Good morning!

I am having an issue with the Task Switcher (see image below) activating on its own. It then begins to cycle through the open tasks very rapidly. When this happens I am unable to actually select any of the tasks, nor can I close them out. Windows is essentially frozen at this point and I have to restart.

A few things to note:

• I am running Windows 10 Pro.
• This happens randomly, sometimes weeks between an incident.
• Sometimes it happens while I am not even working at the computer. I've noticed it after returning to my desk.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
