    Keys won't work if I hold down a certain key


    So today when I got back home from school everything with the keyboard was fine, until I noticed that my keys sometimes don't work. Then i started pressing every single one to find out what was the problem and I found out that when I hold the F key, all of the other keys on the keyboard stop working

    Certain keys on the keyboard are not working properly.

    Hi Russell,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that certain keys on the keyboard are not working properly on the pc. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:


    • Did you make any changes to the pc prior to this issue?

    • Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?

    • Have you performed a full pc virus scan on the system recently?

    Suggest you to launch the on-screen keyboard to check if the issue persists.

    Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:


    • Press “Windows key + R” to get the run window.

    • Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.

    Also suggest you to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps.
    Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

    Further, you may also boot the computer in a clean boot state and check if the issue persists. When you start Microsoft Windows, typically there are several programs that start automatically and run in the background that may interfere with the system.
    These programs may include antivirus and system utility programs. When you perform a clean startup procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow the steps under “How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” in the article to boot to normal startup.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    1215N function keys not working?

    Doesn't list it for the 1215N *Frown Keys won't work if I hold down a certain key :(

    Funny part all the keys work out of the box with Linux Mint, go figure.

    Tried the one on softpedia, doesn't seem to work.

    Any other model that I can take it from?

    N70 - Certain keys not working

    Could someone please help. I have a Nokia N70 and certain keys are not working on it. They will only work if i hold the phone with pressure applied to the opposite side. I need about 4 pairs of hands to write a text!! Is there any way that the front comes
    off so that i can perhaps clean the key pad.????
