    Right arrow key doesn't work. Have to press alt+right arrow to function normally.

    • Windows 11 Home
    • Verison 23H2
    • Custom built PC

    I don't remember when it started, but I noticed that my right arrow key doesn't function anymore. It is not a physical issue. No dust or anything of that nature physically blocking the key/keycap/etc. Happens on all keyboards I test, so its definitely a software/technical issue.

    The only way to actually use the right arrow key is by pressing ALT+right arrow and it functions as intended. Up, left, and down all function normally, but the right does not. I have to press ALT+right arrow to make it work. Can't figure it out.

    tab and arrow key automatically pressing

    my tab and right arrow keys are pressed sutomatically , i have been facing this issue for quite some time now.

    I tried all the methods in this similar thread other than the keyboard driver uninstall since i have not attached any external keyboards Redirecting

    after i created a new user account the issue was not observed but when i switched back from the old to new one the issue started on the new account also ?

    why is it when i press the right arrow key it clears my tab

    Right arrow key on keyboard enters ALT and DELETE

    Thank you for the suggested solutions.

    Unfortunately they have not resolved the issue.

    After reviewing the on screen keyboard, the right arrow key on the keyboard when pressed is acting as the ALT and DELETE keys.

    The right arrow does not function as a right arrow key in the BIOS menu

    either.
