Windows 10: Keyboard Keys Remapped for no reason

Yesterday, while browsing in Chrome, I realised that some of my keyboard keys had been remapped. As I am writing this, I am using the touch keyboard to type.Currently, these are the problem keysn - <Notification Panel> z - z7 7 - z7 WinKey - <Notification Panel> on Win10, it was opening a new OneNote QuickNoteRight-Arrow-Key - Screen LockThis started on Win10. After searching around and trying different suggestions I upgraded from Office Pro 2019 to Office Pro 2021 I hoped this would fix the problem with OneNote - no change.In desperation, I then upgraded to Win11.

External keyboard keys remapped

Hi, some keys on my external keyboard that I use with my laptop have been remapped.

They have been remapped like this:

2 remapped to Insert

3 remapped to Home

4 remapped to 'W'

5 remapped to Delete

I tried the laptop's inbuilt keyboard and there are no issues whatsoever. I don't know if it is a software or hardware issue.

 

Any suggestion how to remap keyboard [Enter] > [Shift-Enter]?

I've used SharpKeys successfully to remap keys.
- I remapped Delete key to the Insert key when the former was defective
- On another computer, I remapped t to ` [again because a key was not working correctly]
You would remap Shift-Enter to Enter



You can select keys from the list or, as illustrated here, you can select Type key and press the key / key combination you want.

But you do realise that you'll lose the ability to press Enter?
- You don't say why you want to do this so I can only guess that the 'normal' Enter function would sometimes be needed.
- You could also remap Enter to Shift-Enter so you would still have the function available for use.


Best of luck,

Remapping keyboard keys

thanks for this but the first post is to "assign a macro or program to a key" which is not what i want to do.

Im not sure why i would need to run the troubleshooter because there is nothing wrong with the keyboard i just want to remap the keys.

i am unsure also why you are referring me to update with the media creation tool? these seem completely unrelated to my problem....

note: i just tried selecting the 'send key combinations' on my remote desktop client and this allowed the remapping software to recognise the CMD key as the left windows key so i thought i was in luck. i remapped it in the software to the left CRTL key and
restarted but it doesnt seem to have done anything at all....frustrating.
