Windows 10: Windows 10 having trouble with 'dash' key, once entered, it keeps repeating indefinitely

I'm using AVITA Windows 10 laptop, my Windows Security is up to date with Virus Protection updates.

When I use 'dash' or 'hyphen' key, the key ends repeating indefinitely.

I have checked they physical key, it's not stuck.

I've checked the keyboard repeat delay and rate to slow it down, but it does not help.

I've uninstalled the keyboard driver on Device Manager to restart machine, and the problem still persists.

The only way to get a temporary respite is to restart the machine.


Is this a bug or hardware driver issue?----

Google and download the "Windows 10 media creation tool"

Create a USB flash drive ISO and that's all you need...it will work without needing a key..
Just skip past entering a key during full install and delete all partitions, format, create new drive and install...

As long as you have upgraded from Windows 8 first...you need to do that prior to using your Windows 8 key for 10.

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

Hi Ronald,

For us to better understand that situation you're in, kindly provide us the information we need below:

• Which application are you trying to use? Are you using an Office application?
  
• Since you're able to post the desired dash in this post, have you tried using it in the application you're using?

Meanwhile, we suggest using Windows Alt Codes by pressing Alt+0151 and repeat it without having a space to see if it helps.

We are looking forward to your response.
