  1. Key sometimes registers 2 clicks/doesn't work unless I press hard


    A few days ago my "e" key on my laptop stopped working properly. Occasionally it works correctly, but sometimes it counts a single e press as 2. Sometimes it also doesn't work unless I press the key multiple times 2-5 times and/or I press it with force. It also affects my "r" key, so if I press e->r in quick succession it types "r" twice. Restarting the computer has not done anything. The laptop that I am using is a HP elitebook 840 g7.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Hi,

    Welcome and thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Apologize for the difficulties that you're experiencing in Windows 10.

    Not to worry, we’re here to help you out.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    This might have occurred due to corrupted\outdated DVD\CD-ROM driver.

    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Try updating the DVD\CD-ROM drives from device manager.

    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device Manager
      .
    • Expand DVD\CD-ROM drives.

    • Right click on the driver select
      Update Driver Software.

    • Restart the computer.
    Step 2: I suggest you to check and install if there is any latest firmware update for DVD drive from the computer manufacturer.

    Also, see: Your CD or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well).

    Disclaimer: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these
