  1. Left shift not working properly


    the left shift key my laptop which runs Windows 10 latest update has been acting weird today..it works perfectly fine, the only thing wrong with it is I can't combine it with anything else..so if I want to run Task Manager for example, when pressing CTRL + Shift + ESC, the device only registers CTRL + ESC..the right shift works perfectly fine. is there a solution to this?.I looked online for similar problems but couldn't find any. also, Sticky Keys is turned off.Thanks a lot!

    :)

    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.
