    For the past couple of weeks, my laptop keyboard has not allowed me to type because it thought I was holding down the windows key. Recently I found this post and followed the instructions it gave. The one that worked is the one following the notepad and the windows registry editor. The downside is that now instead of the windows key, its the F1 key. It gets activated whenever I press the CAPS LOCK key, letter "b" and "n", "delete", "f8", "f12", "prt screen", and "=". Also I am unable to hold shift + c together - it wont register it. as well as the windows key, the fn key, and ctrl key on eithe

    For over a week my PC wasn`t responding at all. Blue screen of death and not able to boot. Tried everything to no avail.

    For over a week my PC wasn`t responding at all. Blue screen of death and not able to boot. Tried everything to no avail. It made me believe that the problem was with my device. Decided to buy a new PC and at first use, Windows started playing up again.
    Is Microsoft not responsible for this ? I should get my money back. IT IS A WINDOWS PROBLEM after all
