  2. Weird behaviour from keyboard and various software

    Running Windows 10 on a desktop. Replicated with different keyboards. All of this happened yesterday

    1. Shift key in Firefox causes LEAVE PAGE. But no effect in OpenOffice

    2. Typing an entry into File Explorer tries to autocomplete but flashes the title and won't allow deleting characters unless Shift Key is held down
    3. Hovering over the folder list in File Explorer causes scroll down which stops if the shift key is held down. On the body causes scroll left

    4. Same behaviour on Start Screen
    5. Holding the Ctrl key without a plus sign causes zoom in office

    6. All drop down menus in FIREFOX and other apps appear for an instant then vanish and can't be accessed
    Help please

    Windows and shift key have a weird behaviour.

    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?
