    Shift Key not Highlighting all selected


    Hi, running windows 10, since an update I can no longer use the shift key with arrows to select multiple items all at once. It still works when i try this with the ctrl key but that is item by item, not all items as when using the shift and arrows keys. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Shift + arrow keys not highlighting

    I used to be able to use my shift + arrow keys to highlight items (pictures, cells in Excel, etc) as I am working. Now I can use shift + mouse click to highlight sequential items, but I cannot use my arrow keys. My computer recently updated. I have
    searched the internet for solutions, but all are outdated. I do not have scroll lock on. I do not have sticky keys on. I do not have filter keys on. Any other suggestions? This is most frustrating.

    Shift + arrow keys not highlighting

    Yes, the arrow keys work normally otherwise, and so does the shift key. I just cannot use them together to highlight, I have to use shift + mouse click.

    Hi Vijay

    Thank you for your suggestions but I tried the keyboard tester and all of the keys on my laptop keyboard highlight except both shift keys.
