Windows 10: windows key + ctrl+shift+b is looping and now 2 of my monitors won't work (originally 1)

So I have 3 monitors and originally 2 of them were working and one wasn't - so I looked around for advice and windows heleper suggested using windows key + ctrl+shift+b so I did, at first I thought wow that was fast since the 3rd monitor appeared - screens were all screens flashing on and off as it said it would for a few seconds however this continued for around 10 minutes and by this point I knew something was up - since then i've restarted my pc and also entered safemode - after coming out of safe mode I came back to normal and now it is STILL doing this same issue - it seems to keep refreshing the graphics card but monitors 1+2 which were originally working arn't responding at all and the 3rd monitor works for around 6-7 seconds then goes off for 1 second CONSTANTLY.


any ideas??

We can see here that you are having issues using the Shift and Ctrl keys on your keyboard. To isolate this concern, have you performed the following:

• Right-click on Start menu.
• Select Control Panel.
• Choose Ease of Access.
• Click on Change how your keyboard works.
• Tick the box beside Turn on Sticky Keys.
• Click on Apply.
• Select OK.

If so, we suggest that you revert the computer back to its previous version. You can free up some space in your disk drive by backing up some files to an external hard drive.

shift and ctrl keys not working - windows 10

Neither of my two shift keys nor my ctrl key work on my Acer laptop. I checked that I have the latest keyboard driver. I tried pressing both shift keys simultaneously but this did not fix the problem. The keyboard has only one ctrl key. I tried the alternative
keyboard but no luck there either. The touch keyboard does work.

I tried

• control panel > Accessibility Options.
• under keyboard there is sticky keys.
• Remove the tick and click apply and OK.

but could not find the Accessibility Options in my Control Panel. Also I do not think I have sticky keys turned on.

This appeared to happen after a Windows 10 update. Cannot revert to previous as this laptop has too little disk space.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
