  1. Windows acting like I’m holding keys.


    First, when I’m trying to login, I will type my password and about every three keys my pc acts like I’m holding that key down, even though I’m not and I cannot get into my pc. It also just doesn’t recognize some keys. When I’m in my pc, yesterday when I was able to access it, my pc thought I was holding down “d” and “e”, so whenever I entered a text field anywhere, it would fill with d’s and e’s. This started yesterday and I finished building my pc and installed windows the day before. The d and e problem also keeps spamming even if I unplug my keyboard. I can’t actually get into my account either because of the key held even though it’s not problem.

    :)

  2. Keyboard acts like i'm holding down CTRL key

    My pc about a week ago started acting like I was holding down my CTRL key. I went and bought another keyboard, it didn't work, I also tried to reseting my computer, it didn't work, I also tried an anti virus, it didn't work, I tried contacting Microsoft
    and they didn't help me.

    Also sometimes my pc types 'cv' randomly

    Please HELP

    Restarting the computer works but for 30 minutes or so only

  3. My computer acts like I'm holding down the down arrow key.

    Ok, so just yesterday my computer started acting like I was holding the down the down arrow key. I naturally thought this was just a faulty keyboard problem, so I unplugged my keyboard, and it still did it. I tried turning off sticky keys, it was already
    off. I don't know if I need to reset my computer or something. If you could tell me that would be great.

  4. Windows acting like I’m holding keys.

    shift key acting like it's stuck, ctrl and num keys don't work

    Hi janieneh,

    There's a possibility that the keyboard issue that you're experiencing may be due to having an outdated driver or could be a software conflict. However, there's also a chance that sticky keys may have been enabled on your laptop. Before we try to troubleshoot
    the software side, please try the following workarounds and see if one on the list addresses the problem:

    • Turning off Sticky Keys.
      • If this feature is turned on, then have it turned off. Just navigate to
        Settings > Ease of access > Keyboard > Sticky Keys
        , then toggle it
        Off
        .
    • Holding down both Shift keys.
      • Press and hold down both Shift keys at the same time for 4 to 5 seconds.
    • Perform full shutdown
      • To perform a full shutdown, click the Windows key > Power Icon > Shutdown. Once computer is off, press the power button to boot it up.
    Please let me know if the issue persists after performing the steps above by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

    Regards.
