Windows 10: Keyboard pressing multiple buttons when I only press one

Whenever I press a single button, multiple get pressed. For example: pressing "k" will type "kl,". This issue is on a Windows 10 laptop and prior to the issue my keyboard was pretty dirty so I cleaned it with some wipes and spray. I did this many times before and never had this issue.

Pressing multiple keys at once


Hi, I've had this problem since I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10:

When I play a game, like Team Fortress 2, I use Z, Q, S and D to run.
However, when I press multiple buttons at once, like Z and D to run forward and to the right, the problem occurs (also when I'm not in-game). What happens is, when I stop pressing the Z button, it still acts as being pressed, meaning my character won't stop running (sometimes it even takes 7 seconds or more!). I tried updating the keyboard drivers, I tried reinstalling them, but neither worked.

Hi,

I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner.

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if that resolves the issue.

Method 1: I suggest you to run System File Checker, which will check your system for missing, corrupt or damaged files and attempt to fix them.

Please refer the article on “How to run System File Checker” and check if that helps.

Method 2:

DISM:

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  

• 
  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
