Keyboard Input Not Recognized After Releasing One of Multiple Pressed Keys on Windows 11

Hello,

I'm experiencing a peculiar issue on my Windows 11 system where the keyboard does not seem to register continuous input from a key if another key was pressed simultaneously and then released. For example, if I press and hold down 'JK' and then release the 'K' while still holding down 'J,' the system stops registering the 'J' input unless I release and press it again. This behaviour is consistent across various key combinations and is not specific to any particular set of keys.

Interestingly, when testing this with my keyboard's software, all inputs are registered correctly, indicating the keys and the keyboard itself are functioning properly. This leads me to believe the issue might be software-related, possibly within Windows 11 or a conflict with another application.

Here's what I've tried so far without success:

• Updating and reinstalling keyboard drivers.
  
• Running the built-in Windows troubleshooter for keyboards.
  
• Checking for malware and Windows updates.
  
• Modifying keyboard-related settings in Windows, including disabling Filter Keys and Sticky Keys.
  

None of these steps have resolved the issue. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar or has any suggestions on what else I can try to fix this problem. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

 

Shift Key and Number key cannot be pressed at the same time.

Hello,

There are several factors why you are unable to use the shortcut keys function such as keyboard settings, or if there is an issue with the keyboard itself. To help you resolve this, kindly try the following suggestions:

• You might have selected an input language other than English. To work around with this, go to
  Control Panel > Region and Language and check. You can also check if your keyboard has a language selection available that may need to be changed.
• We suggest as well that you reset the keyboard layout by reinstalling the language and check if it fixes the issue. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows+R keys and type intl.cpl. Hit Enter.
  
• Go to Administrative tab and click on
  Change system locale button.
• Select the correct language and country from the drop-down box.
• Navigate to the location tab and check if region settings are appropriate.
• Apply the changes and Windows will require a reboot.
