  1. Tab, Caps Lock, Left Shift, and F3 keys do not work.


    My Tab, Caps Lock, Left Shift, and F3 keys are entirely unresponsive. These keys, and only these keys, began working only intermittently several hours ago and have since stopped working entirely. I have tried updating drivers, restarting my pc, Windows and Dell troubleshooting, and suggestions from older, very similar Microsoft Community Questions, all to no avail.My pc is a Dell G15 5511 running Windows 11 version 24H2, please help if you can.

    :)

    Left Shift, Caps Lock and Tab keys not working

    Since update KB3149135 installed on my desktop the left shift, caps lock and tab keys no longer work.

    Help would be appreciated.
     
  3. Shift, Caps Lock and F3 keys not working

    I've been having this problem since about a week ago. The (left) Shift, Caps Lock & the F3 keys stop working randomly, I press any of them several times, they appear to be fine, and then one minute later they stop working again. It appears to be only those three keys that have problems.

    I've already tried running the Keyboard troubleshooter, turning the Filter Keys on and off and updating the Keyboard Device Manager. None have worked

    I'm using a Lenovo laptop on Windows 10

    Left shift key, caps lock, and tab key not working after updating computer to windows 10.

    Basically in what the subject says, those keys have just stopped working after updating to windows 10. My shift on the other side of the keyboard still works but that doesn't help much when the left side doesn't work, nor does my caps lock or tab key work.
