Keyboard Input Not Recognized After Releasing One of Multiple Pressed Keys on Windows 11

Hello,

I'm experiencing a peculiar issue on my Windows 11 system where the keyboard does not seem to register continuous input from a key if another key was pressed simultaneously and then released. For example, if I press and hold down 'JK' and then release the 'K' while still holding down 'J,' the system stops registering the 'J' input unless I release and press it again. This behaviour is consistent across various key combinations and is not specific to any particular set of keys.

Interestingly, when testing this with my keyboard's software, all inputs are registered correctly, indicating the keys and the keyboard itself are functioning properly. This leads me to believe the issue might be software-related, possibly within Windows 11 or a conflict with another application.

Here's what I've tried so far without success:

• Updating and reinstalling keyboard drivers.
  
• Running the built-in Windows troubleshooter for keyboards.
  
• Checking for malware and Windows updates.
  
• Modifying keyboard-related settings in Windows, including disabling Filter Keys and Sticky Keys.
  

None of these steps have resolved the issue. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar or has any suggestions on what else I can try to fix this problem. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

 

Ctrl key on my keyboard goes into "sleep periods" and is not registered the first time I press it

Hello, I've had an ongoing problem with my Ctrl key for about 2 years:

• Windows sometimes does not register when I've pressed the Ctrl key for keyboard shortcuts (copy, paste, etc.)
  
  • For example, pressing Ctrl+C will type the letter "c" instead of copying text
    
• However, if I pressed the Ctrl key in the past 5-10 minutes, then it will work just fine
  
• In other words, there are "sleep periods" during which my Ctrl key doesn't work
  
• If I press the Ctrl key during a sleep period, Windows will not detect that the Ctrl key was pressed but will instead switch from a sleep period into a "wake period"
  
• These wake periods last roughly 5-10 minutes, after which it will automatically switch back into a sleep period
  
• Important: I regularly use this keyboard across 3 different computers, and I only have this problem on 1 of the 3 computers
  

How do I fix this so that Windows will always register the Ctrl key when pressed? (Thank you in advance!)
