Windows 10: Issue with Certain Keys on the keyboard.

I am uncertain as to what cause this to happen but my prt sc, plus/equals button and delete key not working. I know that the keyboard is still working because for a brief period I had gotten all of these buttons to function again however Pressing the Prt SC button does not do anything anymore as well as the plus/equals button don't type out either a Equals or a Plus sign when using the shift key and I can no longer use the delete key properly. (This is on a laptop by the way.)

If I can give any more help as to what to look for I'd be glad in doing so but I do not even know what to look for.

Certain keys on the keyboard are not working properly.

Original Title - Keys repeating

Hi, I'm in desperate need of help.

Also not sure if I chose the right Windows Topic, this seemed most appropriate.

For a while now my computer has been having a strange issue where it repeats certain keys as if I'm holding them down on the keyboard. I started happening a month or so ago when I tried to login to the computer, now it's happening so often it's driving me
insane.

Some more info:

• I do not think my keyboard (Logitech G710+) is the issue. Whenever I unplug it, the repeating still occurs.
• It occurs more or less frequently depending on time of day, I can hardly do anything on my computer later in the day.
• The repeated key actually changes based on what program I use. When there's no specific program, it types 'f', When using photoshop, it types '-', in the windows login screen, it types '6'
• To temporarily fix (as in, fix for about 5 seconds, depending on the computer's attitude), I press a macro key on my keyboard. I use this macro key to open chrome, and it usually stops the repeating, no idea why.
• When pressing the macro key mentioned above, it only works for when the keyboard types 'f', whenever it happens at the login page or in Photoshop, pressing the key does not stop the repeating (my macros change based on what program is open, so the same
  macro key I press to fix the issue does something different when Photoshop is open, this is probably why it doesn't stop the issue).

As mentioned above, this isn't a keyboard issue, as it still happens when the keyboard is unplugged

I've reinstalled Logitech Gaming Software (macro and driver program for logitech peripherals).

I've also tried booting in safe mode, couldn't even log in because it was still happening.

Hi,

I'm definitely up to date, forgot to mention that was one of the first things I tried.

Still occurs if the on-screen keyboard is up.

Clean boot doesn't work, happened at the log in screen so I couldn't even get in.

Just did a virus scan, despite finding several threats it still happens after cleaning them.

Thanks,

Russell

Edit: Well, now that it's a new day after the virus scan, doesn't seem to be happening anymore, probably just needed a restart after the scan. Such a simple solution, should've done it earlier, thanks!

 

Plug that keyboard into a different device and try those keys. If they still don't work, replace the keyboard.

 

Let me edit my post. This is on a laptop. I completely forgot.

 

I think you Replace the keyboard.

 

Ok, plug in an external keyboard and see if those keys work on it. If they do, then it very likely your laptop keyboard needs to be replaced.
