    The home key presses repeatedly (not physically)

    I brought my Inspiron 3542 in 2017 and now the home button (the one beside end key) presses automatically and repeatedly making even writing a text impossible. Please Help!

    Booting without press any key

    @dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


    Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?

    Laptop Keys Stay Pressed (But Not Physically)

    Dear Microsoft community forums,

    I've had my HP laptop for about a year and there's something that's been really bothering me about my laptop that has been happening since the day I've got it. When I hold down a key for more than five seconds (this is very inconsistent, as it only happens
    sometimes) it stays "pressed" (but not physically) until it's pressed again. This isn't a physical issue as it happened from day one and although I found a solution online it didn't work for Windows 10. and this can happen with any key at any time. It's happened
    in Microsoft Word and most annoyingly any video game. It's identical to this problem:

    Hold a key for more than 5 seconds and some sort of 'Sticky keys' turns on

    This problem, however, never got resolved. Does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it in Windows 10?

    Link to the old solution:

    Keyboard keys get stuck ONLY IN GAMES!!
