Cant press and hold keys

Pretty much what the title says. I cant press and hold keys(Such as backspace, Arrow keys, etc)

You would think this isn't a major issue, But it does get incredibly annoying after a while.

Does anybody know of any fixes for this?

Windows 10 Pro, All updates installed.

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.

Inform us for any updates regarding the issue so we can assist you further.
