    My Control Key acts as if it is stuck whenever I press it along with the D key as some games require you to crouch or sprint with the Control Key. I cannot find a fix to the problem, I've changed my keyboard and disabled sticky keys and such, but it still does not work. I've tried reinstalling the keyboard drivers but it does not work, so what could be the issue here?

    :)

    Computer acts as if the CTRL key is pressed down when it is not

    Hey guys,

    I've been experiencing an issue with my pc (Windows 10) recently where my computer acts as if the CTRL key is pressed down when in fact it is not. For example, typing "w" in a web browser executes the CTRL + w command, and so forth. Viewing the onscreen
    keyboard confirms that the CTRL key is pressed down. Here are the things I have tried to fix this:

    • press both CTRL keys for 15 seconds
    • turn off sticky keys, toggle keys, and filter keys
    • switch out my keyboard
    • plug my keyboard into a different usb port
    • uninstall and reinstall my keyboard drivers
    • hold CTRL + Shift for 15 seconds
    • reinstall windows
    • run system file checker

    The problem seems to be completely random, but occurs mostly when I'm running a program other than a web browser, such as a game. Any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    CTRL key acts as if it's stuck?

    Hey!

    I'm running Windows 10, and for a few weeks now, it has been acting as if the CTRL key is jammed. I replaced my keyboard with multiple others, and the problem persisted. I read a few forums, and one suggested to press both CTRL keys at the same time,
    which only worked once. Then, another said to open the virtual keyboard. This showed clearly that the keys were indeed held down, but I couldn't deactivate them from there, so it really didn't help. Are there any fixes to this?

    Left CTRL acts as CTRL+4

    I have this problem where Left CTRL acts as CTRL+4 and Right CTRL acts as CTRL+3.

    For example when I`m using my browser and I need to copy something, whenever I try to press CTRL+C, the tab gets switched to the forth one before the highlighted text got copied.

    Sticky keys are not on, I tried to uninstall the drivers from keyboard and I even done a clean install of windows 10, but without success, the problem still persists
