Windows 10: shift + number not working but shift works with everything else

For the past few weeks, using Shift with a number key produces nothing. The number keys themselves work fine, and both Shift keys work with everything except the number keys. This happens with the laptop keyboard, a Bluetooth keyboard, and the on-screen keyboard. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard drivers with no effect. The problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode. I tried restoring to a restore point before the problem started with no effect. I tried uninstalling the most recently installed software with no effect. There has been no new hardware added to the system. What else

:)

 

Shift+D not working??

Had same problem with right Shift and D only. Left Shift and D was working, right Shift and D was not doing anything (not a small d but nothing at all). All other Shift key combinations were working. In my case turned out the print screen button on the keyboard was stuck. Once released worked fine. So if a key isn't working pays to see if some other keys are stuck.

 

Shift+D not working??

Thanks BP.

I'll try it as soon as it breaks again. I wasn;t working 5 mins ago, but now it is.

Everything is in standard US. No Vietnamese key programs and no macros.

Hmm..

Stopped working again, must be mechanical. Weird that shift works with every other key except 'd'

I have a spare keyboard somewhere. I'll have to dig it out and give that a go.

I tried the website, and while typing, it recognizes the left shift key + d being pressed atm, but when i try right shift, it recognises every key other than D.

It may just be the right shift key as i usually type without realising which shift i am using.

Edit - ok i unplugged it and replugged it in, and it's the same. guess i need a new KB

 

Shift+D not working??

I just rebooted my system, as it's been running about 2 weeks without re-boot. Working now *Toast :toast:

Weird problem, thanks for the responses.

AAARGGHHHH!!!

Now it has stopped working again!!!!

Caps lock doesn't work, nor does shift *Frown

DDDDDDDDDD

oh, caps is working now, shift is not.

The problem is confusing the hell out of me. DDDDDDDDDD

And now shift works.

Maybe i have a dodgy keyboard???

I'll try the drivers next *Confused
