    My K Key wont worK unless I press shift.

    So if im in caps locK and I press shift+K I will get a lowercase letter K. but if im trying to type normally without pressing shift then absolutely nothing happens when I press the K Key. Can anyone help me with this?? I am a gamer so I really need this
    Key to worK and so far havent found any worKing solutions for it. My drivers all say they're up to date and oK, I've restarted my pc and everything. It was worKing perfectly about half an hour ago but I dont Know what caused it to get messed up.

    HP Pavilion 15-ab030tx . Shift-quote key combo not working (Windows 10

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am pressing them together, even though it doesn't appear on the Kybd Event Viewer screenshot. Both shift keys are working normally with other keys. But for some reason neither shift key works with the single-quote key.

    I did try Sticky Keys and it works! The double quote character appears when I use it. However, it works for ALL keys, which isn't good for me; I'd have to totally change my typing patterns. I only want it to work with the single-quote key, and I don't think that's possible. The ShortKeys solution works well.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. Cheers,

    K Key won't work until used with Shift

    Both shift keys

    Hello.
    I have problem with Lenovo Idea Pad 100 laptop (OS: WIN10). After replacing HDD into SSD I faced a strange problem. Both Shifts of the keyboard doesn‘t work .
    I have tried to:
    • Check if sticky keys are off. They are off.
    • Connect external keyboard via USB port. Shift keys on external keyboard works good.
    • Check the keyboard on online tester which indicates pressed buttons. It can‘t indicate press of the shift
    • Change several different input languages. The problem is on all of them.
    • Reinstall keyboard driver
    • Check if connection is OK. It is OK.
    • Tried to run computer without screws (I have read in one forum that screws could touch the keyboard from the bottom and it wouldn‘t operate normal)
    I believe that keyboard is not damaged because connector damage could cause just exact part of keyboard failure, while it is impossible to do physical damage for both shifts. Any solutions?
