Windows 10: Windows acting as UP key is stuck but only in certain scenarios.

Hey!So basically after a windows update the other day, my PC is acting as if the UP key is stuck, however [important note] it does not do it when I use any apps, using Chrome or when I'm browsing folders on the PC. It only does it when I'm trying to use the menu bar, when I right click icons on the taskbar, or when I'm trying to do anything in settings. Like I'm trying to set up a new user for the PC and I can't click what I want because whenever I do the system immediately activates the UP key and scrolls to the top of the options list. It doesn't do it if I right click things on the desktop,

Certain programs make my computer act as if certain keys are pressed down

Hello,

Recently, I've been having a very strange issue: while running certain programs, my computer suddenly begins to act as if certain keys on my keyboard are being pressed. In the beginning, it acted as though the CTRL key was pressed (ex: pressing "w" executes
the "CTRL + w" command). Now, it acts as though my "c" and "v" keys are being pressed (when typing, a string of cs and vs are rapidly typed across the screen). Opening the onscreen keyboard confirms that my computer thinks that the keys are being pressed.
Only restarting my pc temporarily fixes the issue. Here's what I've done to try to remedy it:

• 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
  
• enter safe mode
  
• uninstall and reinstall all of my usb drivers
  
• check for malware
  

The problem with the CTRL key happened no matter what program I was using, but the problems with the c and v keys have only started while playing a game. Any help in fixing this issue 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?
