    problem with Shift key


    some of my keyboard keys are not working correctly, only when I use shift. Tried 3 different keyboards, all the same issue. but in bios setting working correctly I searched on the internet and I find the keyboard driver has an issue. I uninstall the driver many times and reset the laptop even I change my windows but the problem not solved. please help me

    Both shift keys

    Hello.
    I have problem with Lenovo Idea Pad 100 laptop (OS: WIN10). After replacing HDD into SSD I faced a strange problem. Both Shifts of the keyboard doesn‘t work .
    I have tried to:
    • Check if sticky keys are off. They are off.
    • Connect external keyboard via USB port. Shift keys on external keyboard works good.
    • Check the keyboard on online tester which indicates pressed buttons. It can‘t indicate press of the shift
    • Change several different input languages. The problem is on all of them.
    • Reinstall keyboard driver
    • Check if connection is OK. It is OK.
    • Tried to run computer without screws (I have read in one forum that screws could touch the keyboard from the bottom and it wouldn‘t operate normal)
    I believe that keyboard is not damaged because connector damage could cause just exact part of keyboard failure, while it is impossible to do physical damage for both shifts. Any solutions?

  3. Shift/ctrl key problem.

    Hi Jovan,

    The issue you're experiencing is probably due to incorrect settings. A Windows Ease of Access feature called
    Filter keys is an accessibility function that tells the keyboard to ignore repeated strokes. When this function is enabled, it ignores whatever key is pressed down or repeatedly pressed. To verify this, follow the steps below:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click on Ease of Access.
    • Under Ease of Access Center, click on Change how your keyboard works.
    • Under Make it easier to type, click on Set up Filter keys.
    • The Turn on Filter Keys should not be checked, as well as
      Turn on Filter Keys when right SHIFT is pressed for 8 seconds
      .

    We also suggest that you play around with the features and check which one works best for you. If the issue persists, let us know.

    Problems with shift key

    Hi,

    If there are settings that need to configure this issue might happen. Let's troubleshoot your issue by creating a user profile and check if it works. To do this follow the steps below:

    On Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional editions:

    • First, click Start, then select Settings.
    • Select Accounts, then select Family & other people.
    • Then, Add someone else to this PC.
    • Lastly, enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

    On Windows 10 Enterprise edition:

    • First, click Start, then select Settings.
    • Select Accounts, then click Other people.
    • Then, Add someone else to this PC.
    • At the bottom of the page, select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information, and at the bottom of the next page, select
      Add a user without a Microsoft account.
    • Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.
    Disclaimer: Once this troubleshooting steps fix the issue, it means that the previous user account is corrupted.

    If the issue still persists, we suggest the following links:

    How do I reassign hot keys for my keyboard?

    How do I use the Fn key/F Lock key/Alternate command keys?

    Also, for us to isolate your concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages or error code that may explain the problem?
    • Were there any changes, recent updates, and newly installed applications on your device that may have affected your computer's performance?
    • Which version and build of Windows device are you using? To verify your Windows, press
      Windows + R to open the Run window. Type WINVER
      and press Enter. A new window will open showing the version and build number of your Windows device.
    • To avoid repetition, can you provide us with all the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?

    We look forward to your response.
