Windows 10: Shift+w not working

Hi there, My shift+w key is not working. I have tried different keyboards in both wired and bluetooth connection but the issues persists. I am able to temporarily fix it by uninstalling the keyboard driver via device manager, and restarting the machine, however, it only takes a moment or two before it no longer works. I can confirm both the shift and w keys continue to work independently.

MS wedge Keyboard - capital W using shift-w doesn't work?

Microsoft wedge keyboard

a new problem just happened:

when typing to get a capital "W" the shift-w combination doesn't work and sends the cursor up the text or paragraph. It is only the left Shift key. The right Shift key still performs the capitalisation. But it's the left key that I use.

The shift key still works for all other capitals - just the w doesn't work. The w still works fine on it's own.

any ideas appreciated.

 

Shift+w not working

So I rescued a kitten a couple weeks ago and last night he ran across my keyboard for the 1000th time but now my Shift+ w doesn't work. All other keys are working fine. I googled the issue and couldn't find my exact problem. Running windows 11 any ideas? Thanks.

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