Windows 10: Windows acts as if shift key is stuck

Hello. For the last year windows has acted as if the shift key is stuck. It activates seemingly randomly after around 30 minutes of usage, and only a restart will fix the issue. I've tried disabling sticky keys, switching keyboard, and completely resetting computer (all drives wiped.) None of the above fixed the issue. I appreciate your help in advance, and am happy to answer any further questions you may ask.

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There's a possibility that the keyboard issue that you're experiencing may be due to having an outdated driver or could be a software conflict.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.

 

Shift key stuck

My laptop keeps acting as if I have the left shift key continuously pressed. I have looked up numerous forums and can't figure out how to fix it.

 

Both shift keys

Hello.
I have problem with Lenovo Idea Pad 100 laptop (OS: WIN10). After replacing HDD into SSD I faced a strange problem. Both Shifts of the keyboard doesn‘t work .
I have tried to:

• Check if sticky keys are off. They are off.
• Connect external keyboard via USB port. Shift keys on external keyboard works good.
• Check the keyboard on online tester which indicates pressed buttons. It can‘t indicate press of the shift
• Change several different input languages. The problem is on all of them.
• Reinstall keyboard driver
• Check if connection is OK. It is OK.
• Tried to run computer without screws (I have read in one forum that screws could touch the keyboard from the bottom and it wouldn‘t operate normal)

I believe that keyboard is not damaged because connector damage could cause just exact part of keyboard failure, while it is impossible to do physical damage for both shifts. Any solutions?
