    Left shift not working


    So I was deleting some applications I no longer use to free up space on my laptop. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but not long after, I discovered that my left shift key isn't doing anything. I know there's one on the right, but I never use it (I did in this case due to the left one not working)


    Edit: It would be great if the solution was free

    :)

    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.

    Keyboard Left Shift Problem

    I have an old 2006 Saitek Eclipse that is giving me problems.

    My current problem has persisted for the past 2 weeks where randomly the left shift key will raise my volume when pressed.

    Recently i bought a Razer Naga and I am wondering if this is interfering.

    I bought a G110 and it works just fine so I am just wondering what is up with my left shift key.



    As of writing this post, my left shift key works, but I will guarantee that after opening some applications and playing music my keyboard will bite me again.
