Windows 10: How do I fix Keyboard drift?

Good evening,For Days I have been experiencing a kind of Joystick drift with my keyboard. I tried things like cleaning my keyboard, getting an entirely new keyboard, using the console, deinstalling the keyboard and restarting my PC and none of it helped. Someone please help me thank you in advance.

Controller configuration window freezing, unable to fix joystick drift.

Hi, AdamtheMute,

I am an Independent Advisor.

I'm sorry your friend has experienced issues with her controller. This from what I understand is typical of 360 controllers.

1. Member, Ender89 suggests:

"The stick drift is usually caused by plastic dust (from the thumbstick wearing against the shell of the controller) gumming up the analog mechanism that tracks the position of the thumbstick. I get it occasionally on my left thumbstick, and I fix it by prizing
off the plastic piece on side of the controller grip, exposing the space between the circuit board and the shell, and blasting some canned air at the mechanism to clean it."

3. I'd advise going into a Clean Boot state to determine what is causing the system to Hang. You might also look into Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application Log

Look for Errors that have Hang in them. This usually is a driver conflict causing the system to Hang.

In Clean Boot, pay attention to the Steps Listed here under - How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot. You may wish to print this page for reference.

4. You might also try doing the Drift Fix while in Safe Mode with Networking.

Start > Type Msconfig > Press Enter

Select Boot Tab

Select Safe boot

Select Networking

Click Apply, Ok

Reboot and Windows will load into Safe Mode with Networking.

Verify if the Hang/Freeze issue arises while fixing the Drift issue.

Before rebooting the computer, go back to Msconfig window. Uncheck Safe Boot.

Click Apply, Ok

Reboot the computer and Windows will load Normally.

 

Cursor constantly drifting

My cursor will constantly drift to the right side of the screen (to no specific spot, just drifts directly to the right). This occurred a few days ago but I was able to fix it with a simple restart, but now I've tried restarting a few times and the cursor still won't stop drifting. I even uninstalled all pointer drivers in Device Manager to no avail. I know this isn't a problem with my mouse because the drifting still occurs when I unplug the mouse, and this also isn't the trackpad's fault as the drifting suddenly stops whenever I open a "system app" or whatever it's called (e.g., Task Manger, Device Manager, etc.). Appreciate any help!
