    "Q", "1", "Tab", and "`" Keys Only Work Sometimes


    The "Q", "1", "Tab", and "`" keys will sometimes not work and then start working again. I tried the keyboard troubleshooter, but it did not find a problem. When the keys are working, I might press any one of those keys once, and it will register as two clicks on the laptop. I am using a Lenovo Thinkbook 14s. Does anyone know if this is a known software problem or if this a problem with the hardware on my laptop?

    :)

    Keyboard Keys Not Working Properly, ESC, ~,TAB, CAPS, 1, Q, A, and Z

    ESC, ~,TAB, CAPS, 1, Q, A, and Z are not working.

    The above keys do not work most of the time. Sometimes they work for a little, then once I shut down my laptop it stops working again. Recently I've found out that if I press the CAPS, a, and s keys at the same
    time, it increases my volume. If I press the same combo, but instead I click d rather than s, it opens the windows 10 get help tab. So the keys are doing something, but they will not actually let me type anything.

    Tab only works with q+tab: Seemingly randomly my computer will decide that tab can only work if I press q+tab and when I don't it'll press q and then tab which can stop alt+tab from working and it's a pointless feature so I'd really like to be able to fix it....
