    Windows acts like Windows Key is held down


    As the topic says. My Win 10 sometimes thinks that the Windows Key is pressed permanently and starts to open APPS and Functions when i press the key that is bound to it, like s for search function.

    Tried many things in the last couple of days. Disconnecting and then reconnecting the keyboard, reinstalled Wn10 fresh, used other keyboards USB and PS/2.

    The only thing that semi fixes the problem is a restart, but even with the fresh install it happens from time to time.

    Incorrect functionality with the computer that acts like Tab key is being held down on Windows 10

    Recently my PC started this habit where it acts like tab is being pressed down and it moves on to different clickable things and moves off of things I'm trying to stay on. This can make it hard to type and it gets so frustrating, I have to restart my computer,
    which fixes the problem only temporarily, but it eventually does the dame thing again. I don't believe this is a problem with my keyboard, as restarting fixes this. Any help given would be really appreciated.
