Windows 10: Keyboard issue. Windows key suddenly virtually ‘stuck’

Out of the blue, I go to type on my keyboard and suddenly it’s only typing windows shortcuts. For instance, r would open run, f would open feedback, s would open start.

I unplugged my keyboard and plugged it back in. Now types normally for the most part but now it doesn’t type a few specific letters. I’m so confused

There is no win lock on my keyboard.

Step 2: You can also try with “Onscreen keyboard” to check the working of numeric key.

1. Open run command (Windows and R key), type in
   OSK.
   
2. Use the numeric 2 and check the status.
   

If the issue is only with the specific numeric key (Number 2), I suggest you to check with the manufacturer for the further assistance.



Hope it helps.

Windows 10 Laptop Keyboard Keys Acting Strange

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

• 
  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.
