    Shift Keys Not Performing Their Expected Function With Certain Numerical Keys


    Hi, I just recently updated my Windows 10 OS to Windows 10 version 1903 OS Build 18362.778. The shift keys are not giving me the expected results when I use them with the following keys: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 0. They return all the expected results on all the other keys, it's just the specific numerical keys listed. The 1, 9, and 0 keys are also taking multiple key strokes in order to display text on the screen, but that is a new development, just noticed it, in fact, so I don't know if that is not just a short term problem that will go away, but the problem I've been having with the shift keys has been going on for a week or so, about the same amount of time since I ran the update. Please advise.



    Thanks,

    Mike

    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. Contol + Shift key combinations functions not working


    I have just purchased a new HP Envy Laptop model 15-A E05SA. and have upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1.
    However, for some reason the Control + Shift key plus other key combination functions do not seem work.
    For example Ctrl+Shift+f9 should remove all hyperlinks from selected document text also Ctrl+Shift+ should magnify page, etc but do not work.
    The Ctrl key, Shift key and function keys work normally individually but not in a combination.
    I would welcome any guidance.
    Thanks.

    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.
