    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!

    Why my keyboard opens the browser when I press CTRL?

    Ctrl key on my keyboard goes into "sleep periods" and is not registered the first time I press it

    Hello, I've had an ongoing problem with my Ctrl key for about 2 years:

    • Windows sometimes does not register when I've pressed the Ctrl key for keyboard shortcuts (copy, paste, etc.)
      • For example, pressing Ctrl+C will type the letter "c" instead of copying text
    • However, if I pressed the Ctrl key in the past 5-10 minutes, then it will work just fine
    • In other words, there are "sleep periods" during which my Ctrl key doesn't work
    • If I press the Ctrl key during a sleep period, Windows will not detect that the Ctrl key was pressed but will instead switch from a sleep period into a "wake period"
    • These wake periods last roughly 5-10 minutes, after which it will automatically switch back into a sleep period
    • Important: I regularly use this keyboard across 3 different computers, and I only have this problem on 1 of the 3 computers
    How do I fix this so that Windows will always register the Ctrl key when pressed? (Thank you in advance!)
