  1. Press some random buttons and now my keyboard is only doing shortcuts. (Typed on phone)


    Hey, hopefully one of you guys can help me fix this annoying problem. I clicked some random buttons by accident while playing a game, now it’s doing shortcuts for windows and i can’t find any solutions to it. I searched online and none worked. I uninstalled my keyboard and made things worse by only allowing me to type when i open chrome and my mouse is about a half an inch off it’s target now. I also read that damage to the keyboard like spilling fluid can cause this (coincidentally i allow spilled water on the windows key before), but that wouldn’t affect my mouse being weird too.

    Anyone know if this happened to them or know a fix to this annoying problem.

    Edit: can to cant

  2. Keyboard Shortcut For Volume Control

    Hello Lenny,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    • Click OK
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Are you using a laptop keyboard or external keyboard?
    Adjusting the volume levels using the keyboard shortcuts depends if your device/keyboard supports media keys.

    Meanwhile, let's try creating a shortcut key for the Master Volume. Refer to the steps below:

    1. Right-click on an empty area on Desktop, then select
    New
    and Shortcut.

    2. Copy and paste the location below:

    C:\\Windows\System32\SndVol.exe -T 76611119 0

    3. Click on Next button and provide a name for the said Shortcut and click Finish.

    4. Right-click on it and select Properties.

    5. Assigned your desired shortcut key like F11 or F10 by just pressing it in the
    Shortcut key area.

    6. Click Apply and Click OK to save changes.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Hi Jacqueline,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check.

    Try these steps to run the troubleshooter:


    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

    • Click view all in the left panel.

    • Select ‘Hardware and devices' and follow the on-screen instructions.
    If the issue persist, update the chipset drivers from the manufacturer's website and check.

    Perform an SFC (System File Checker) scan on your system for any corrupted file settings.

    1. Press Windows + X on your keyboard.

    2. Select Command prompt admin.

    3. At the command prompt type “sfc /scannow” (no quotes), and then press ENTER.

    Note: Do not close this Command Prompt window until the verification is 100% complete. The scan results will be shown after this process is finished.

    Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!
