    Left Shift Behaving Strangely


    hi,

    I have a Asus VivoBook s15 510UA that i purchased 7 months back. But from the last 1 week i am having a really strange issue with my K/B. let me explain this a bit.

    this Laptop doesn't have any number pad/ numeric key set. So when i am talking about number keys i am referring to the number keys on top of the usual QWERTY keys, below the Function keys.

    The issue is related with the 'LEFT SHIFT" only.

    So when i try to use the Asterisk mark/sign (*) .. which is "Shift + 8". its as simple as it can be.

    When i use "LEFT SHIFT + 8" strangely tho nothing happens, Totally blank !!


    But when i use "RIGHT SHIFT + 8" the Asterisk mark/sign (*) appears as expected. then i thought it might be any issue related with the "Number 8 key" only. but it is not as it behaves normally with the RIGHT SHIFT keys.


    Then i thought it might be a issue with the LEFT SHIFT key, but other than the "LEFT SHIFT + 8" combination, the LEFT SHIFT key works as fine as normal.

    I don't know if its any issue related with the hardware or software. I have given it quiet a thorough thought trying to figure out what is the actual cause, but haven't gone around any bit.

    I have thought of Resetting the windows 10 installation. But the after math is a nightmare, the installation of countless software and drivers.


    Do anyone have faced anything similar like this ? and have anyone got any fix for this ?

    :)

    Intel Speed Shift Technology Skylake

    You just need a Skylake CPU and ThrottleStop, once turned on speed shift you can exit the software as unclewebb said above.

    Windows 10 "Left Alt + Shift" language input switch suddenly stop working. It used to work before.

    Hi Jida,

    There are a few reasons why "Left Alt + Shift" is suddenly stopped working on your computer. Since you mentioned that you already tried some troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you create a
    Test Profile. From there, check if the issue occurs.

    To create a user profile, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings. Click Accounts.
    • Select Family & other people.
    • Select the Add someone else to this PC tab.
    • Name the user as Test.
    • Leave the password field blank.
    • Hit Next.
    • Sign in as Test user.
    Let us know how it works.

    Left Shift Behaving Strangely

    Switch keyboard layout with right Shift and left Shift

    I see only LAlt-Shift, Grave Accent and Ctrl-Shift. The list of options is very limited.

    I reckon I will have to use Ctrl-Shift and use right-hand side keys...
