    WASD and arrow keys cause "drift" and "sliding" only in games, as if Sticky Keys was on


    I have had this issue for a a year now with no solution working.First of all, I play on a laptop so I'm not able to change keyboards.For whatever reason, both my arrow keys and WASD keys continue inputting for several seconds after releasing the key. For example, I hold down "A" to walk left. Once I let go of "A", my character keeps walking left for a full second or two. The same thing happens with my arrow keys.It is as if Sticky Keys are on... but they are not. It is clearly off, and the glitch persists.Strangely, this glitch only occurs in games- scrolling in browsers and usi
