    Keyboard is typing multiple things when a key is pressed


    My laptop started typing different character combos when I press a key. "f" produces a "5f" and enter command" the ";" produces "-" And so. I also spilt `a tiny droplet of soda on it `accidentally I'm unsure on how to 5fix this.

    Keyboard is typing multiple things when a key is pressed

    Hi,

    To better understand your concern about your device's keyboard, we'd like to know the following:

    • The last activities performed on your device prior to the issue.
    • If you were cleaning your keyboard prior to the issue.
    • If your device has been exposed to any type of liquid.
    • Make and model of your device.
    In the meantime, you can perform the following to isolate the unintentional use of the
    Fn key on your keyboard:

    • If your laptop has a numeric keypad, press and hold Fn and NumLock
      keys on your keyboard.
    • If numeric pad is not available, press and hold Fn and CapsLock keys on your keyboard.

    We look forward to your response.

    We'd like to check if this is related to your device's keyboard driver. To isolate driver issues, you can uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver by performing the following:

    • Search and open Device Manager using Cortana.
    • Expand the Keyboards section by clicking on the arrow icon.
    • Right-click on the keyboard driver.
    • Click on Properties.
    • Click on the Driver tab.
    • Click on Uninstall.
    • Follow the on-screen prompts.
    • Restart your device.

    Keyboard is typing multiple things when a key is pressed

    My laptop started typing different character combos when i press a key. "O" produces a "P and enter command" the "," produces ">?" And so.

    i changed the languages and keyboards, cleared the ease of access filters, reset the computer and restarted in safe mode with no luck.
