Windows 10: Keyboard occasionally messes up

Hello,

not too long ago I started noticing keyboard issues on my laptop. Windows key would get kind of stuck I suppose as if I was trying to press windows key + d/a/tab, etc. Sometimes a different key would get stuck, being unable to use letter keys and only be able to use ctrl, space, windows key, etc. I temporarily fix this by pressing multiple keys at once. I thought that it was my laptops keyboard going bust, but I decided to use my desktop PC which I hadn't in a while (it has windows 10 as well) and the same thing occasionally happens as well, tested with a wireless and MINI PS/2 keyboards, so it's definitely not hardware issue. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Update: Noticed that restarting explorer.exe also helps, just not sure for how long. But at least it seems that the issue is related to explorer.

:)

 

Keyboard Messed Up

Oh right. Thanks!

 

Keyboard messing up.

When I click 1 on the right side of my keyboard, it does END, when I do 3, It does Pg Dn, I think I accidentally pressed something, how can I fix this?

 

Rule in / out problems with the operating system, drive, software conflicts, drivers, hardware.

1) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
3) chkdsk /scan
4) net user test /add

5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

6) msconfig (in the pop up system configuration > move the dot from normal startup to selective startup > uncheck load startup items > click service tab > in left lower corner check hide all Microsoft services > in the lower right side click disable all > click apply or ok > do not reboot)

7) taskmgr (in the pop up task manager > click on the start up tab > click on status so that the column sorts with enable rising to the top > right click on each row with enable and change to disable)

Thank you for trying to help me out, zbook. However, somehow the problem disappeared on its own. Hopefully your post will help someone and in case this happen again, I will definitely give it a try myself.

 

Glad you got it fixed....let us know if you need any additional help.
