Windows 10: My right shift key is not working. No hardware issue.

On my keyboard the right shift key is not working.


What i have done trying to solve the problem:

• tested Keyboard with other PC everything works fine
• Search for new driver
• deinstall driver and restart PC
• Checked keyboard language
• Disabled Sticky and Filter Keys
• run the hardware and devices troubleshooter for the keyboard
• most interesting for me: I tried the On-Screen Keyboard. On it, if I use only my mouse everything works fine. If I press right shift the shift keys get blue...so there is some input there. But still there is no function on it while writing. Even if I press right shift on the keyboard and the letters on the On-screen Keyboard with the mouse. If I press left shift it also turns blue, but it has a function, as it should be.

Do you know of anything left I can try solving other than resetting the hole PC?

shift keys not working

I upgraded to windows 10 on my Toshiba laptop and then did the windows update and when I tried to do anything with the shift key neither one works. I read all the suggestions I could find in here and tried most of them with no luck. I ran the hardware
and device troubleshooter, I went to the keyboard on control panel and it says it's working properly. I tried shift/control/alt keys all together. I downloaded and scanned with anti malware and I did the fn and del keys with no results. I would like an easy
fix for this as I believe it is a windows 10 and or update for windows 10 issue. I am not real savvy on the computer so I need step by step instructions, please and thank you.
