    Booting without press any key

    @dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


    Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?

    Some Keyboard Keys Presses Wrong Buttons.(It Cripples Keyboard)

    Pressing P key in keyboard automatically presses both TAB and P keys. Pressing 0 key in keyboard automatically presses both 0 and " (Either 0" or "0, it changes) Sometimes DOT key enters : It started to happen after installing latest Windows Update. Especially TAB + P is crippling. Only Screen Keyboard Functions correctly. I tried Reinstalling Keyboard Drivers and Updating them. Didn't work. Tried different Keyboard. Didn't work. Controlled and tried reinstalling Turkish Q keyboard in Win10 Settings/Time&Language/Language. Didn't work. (Changed to Default US Keyboard. Removed Turkish Q. Restarted. Problem continued. Changed to Turkish Q again. Same for Default Language as well.) Entered Safe Mode to see if other programs interfere because of conflicting Shortcuts. It doesn't change anything. Those problems exists in Safe Mode as well, Other keyboards (except screen keyboard) doesn't change anything, drivers probably aren't the problem, Keyboard settings doesn't change anything. I don't know what else to do. If you think, removing last few Win10 Updates would work, pls tell me. I learned P key enters TAB + P from KeyboardTester website. Win10 Version: 21H2 (OS Build: 19044.2006) Keyboard is Turkish Q. - - - Updated - - - Uninstalling latest updates (up to 2 month worth of updates) and restarting didn't work.

    I can't move cursor while pressing a key


    I recently upgraded Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.0. I have tried reinstalling Synaptics, removing and uninstalling Synaptics, disabling palmcheck, but it wouldn't work. It's annoying when you are playing a game that requires moving while pressing keys on your keyboard. I also have Synaptics 7.5 (19.0.10). The only way I can move my mouse while pressing any key is pressing (any key) + shift. Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
