Windows 10: Windows application false key press / intermittent scrolling

So out of the blue last night my PC is acting as if the up arrow key is being spammed, so in windows 10 applications, such as right clicking on a program on the taskbar, opening the start menu, windows settings, it will continually scroll up. Here is an example of what I mean: Desktop 2018.06.17 - 10.39.56.01Trim - Streamable

I have tried to uninstall my keyboard and mouse drivers, rebooting and pluging them back in, as well as uninstalling them and using multiple different keyboards. The part I can't figure out is this happens only in windows applications, chrome, discord, etc. all function normally. When I run diagnostic on my keyboard it says "USB Composite device is an older USB device and might not work with USB 3.0, Plug the device into an availiable USB 2.0 port, and click Next. Otherwise, click cancel." But I tried that and nothing changed. I have not recently installed any programs, I've done virus scans, and did not have any windows updates the day this started. One moment it was fine, the next this started. Anyone have any suggestions?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
