    It always does this. I've clean installed, tried everything I can think of. It is so annoying. I don't even use the virtual keyboard. Is there a way I can just uninstall it?

    Hi,



    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

  3. ALT Key is Virtually Held Down

    So about a week ago, I noticed that my keyboard started acting strange. For the record, I'm using a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate keyboard, but that doesn't matter because this happens on all keyboards that i've tried. The problem is, whenever I press the Windows
    key and the Alt key, my Alt key becomes 'virtually' stuck. This means i can't input any text, the computer essentially thinks i'm holding down the Alt key.

    • I know it's not a sticky key because I tried this on different keyboards.
    • I know it's the Alt key because I looked up the Alt key shortcuts for Microsoft Edge and they all match (For example, pressing the D key highlights the address bar), and double clicking on Desktop shortcuts will open their properties.
    • It's not Sticky Keys or any of those settings on Windows because, you know, that's the first thing i checked...
    • Uninstalling and reinstalling the Keyboard Drivers didn't help.
    • Virus scans showed everything was fine.
    • I've checked everywhere online for solutions and there doesn't seem to be anyone with a solution (or even my exact problem).
    The weirdest part is the solution: I have to open the on-screen keyboard, click on the Windows key twice, then logout with Win + L and log back in and everything is back to normal (for now). Another solution that worked for a little while was uninstalling
    Razer SDK Core Components, but then even without Razer software, this problem would occur. This wouldn't just occur when i pressed Win + Alt however, it would still happen after a random amount of time and i would have to do that on-screen keyboard method
    to fix it. It would even happen while starting up my computer, preventing me from inputting my password, and it even occurred when i was trying to reinstall windows.

    I just factory reset my whole computer and lo and behold, this problem is still here. I'm about to lose my mind at this point. What on Earth could POSSIBLY be causing this to happen. If it's a problem with my motherboard or something, how can I even check/fix
    that. If formatting my HDD and SSD and reinstalling Windows didn't work, then what is the problem.

    TLVirtual Keyboard - keeps enabling alt key. How do I uninstall this? :DR - Pressing Windows Key and Alt simultaneously causes my Alt key to be held down virtually.

  4. Virtual Keyboard - keeps enabling alt key. How do I uninstall this?

    Alt / Alt Gr keys are not working on physical keyboard

    Hi

    My ASUS Laptop's ALT and ALT GR keys are not working. It happened when I installed a Free Software named iSkySoft... That program is now uninstalled, but it still shows up in the StartUp list ( as deactivated though )

    My on-screen keyborad works as well as an external USB Keyboard.

    I have tried Clean Boot - no luck

    I have reinstalled the keyboard driver - no luck

    I ran Malwarebytes - no luck

    I read that a lot of people ran into this problem, and I have followed many suggestions, without succes..

    The only things I can relate to this is the iSkySoft installation or when I restart my PC, sometimes it let me choose between WIN 10 ( disc 3 ) or...... WIN 10 ( disc 3 )... ??? Somehow I have 2 identical versions of WIN 10.. Maybe thats it ??

    I did install the iSkySoft late November 2016, and when I look at my list of programs, no other programs are installed near that date..

    Any suggestions Virtual Keyboard - keeps enabling alt key. How do I uninstall this? :)

    / Thomas

    NB - It doesn't work in any programs
