Windows 10: Shift not working

since a couple of months now Shift stops working -both of them, righ and left shift- and i just cant write any sign that requieres shift. it is the only key not working and it doesnt seem to be an issue of hardware because it comes back from time to time when i update it, but then it always stop working eventually. I have tried anything, reinstalling keyboard drivers, updating windows, etc.Windows 11 x64Lenovo Ideapad flex 5I would appreciate any help***Moved from Spanish Forum***

Intel Speed Shift Technology Skylake

You just need a Skylake CPU and ThrottleStop, once turned on speed shift you can exit the software as unclewebb said above.

 

Keyboard: some Shift- combinations do not work from time to time

When using SHIFT to type !, @, #, $, ( or ) they sometimes do not work. A while later, they may work for a short time. Sometimes the problem does not show up for days. Steps taken so far:

• The device manager shows no issues.
  
• Test programs found nothing or suggest it may be a hardware error.
  
• When using on-screen keyboards, there is no issue.
  
• The keyboard drivers have been de-installed and automatically re-installed
  
• The latest drivers are installed
  
• Have removed and re-selected the language keyboards
  

Thanks for any help!

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
