  1. Keys randomly start doing different things


    The keys on my laptop's keyboard randomly do different things other than type. My only way out of it is by restarting my laptop. I have sticky keys off and the shortcut is off. I just checked settings, and all the sticky keys settings are off. It's quite annoying when I'm able to type and then go to type something else later and a ton of things just start happening and not one thing gets typed. If I were to try and type and 'S' the taskbar would show up instead.

    :)

  2. Keys randomly change functions

    The keys on my laptop randomly start doing different things. It's kind of like a shortcut I guess? I tried to press 'T' to talk in a game, but it just put the game in windowed mode and brought up the taskbar. I restarted my laptop and it's working again,
    but it will most likely do it again. Is there any way to fix it?

  3. Windows 10 freezes randomly


    I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
    Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin
    I had tried that as well... no result.

  4. Keys randomly start doing different things

    One key has severe input lag but every other key is fine

    The thing suggested by @lx07was yet another step of trouble shoot you need to perform to role out the hardware fail possibility than rather a topic for debate .
    I honestly did not suggest it just because its level of technicality is a bit high and I am not quite sure about your level .
    Yet however if you can do that step I can't see why not .
    And yet even if you still manage to get lag you are down to the route I just discussed in my previous post , nothing more to do .

    P.S I am not even sure what you mean that the button performs well if you change layout , the aussie & u.s layouts do not even acknowledge that button and most probably assigns a different function / key to which hints the conclusion of your test might be slightly biased
