Windows 10: Windows key stopped working after last update I'm now on the latest one

I'm on an Acer predator helios neo 16 laptop. Windows was updated just the other night. Now my windows key does not work anymore. Have tried different things to enable it, but nothing works or my settings are correct.Help would be appreciated.Thanx, Rodi

Hyphen key, and Alt code sporadically stop working.

Hi Rogue,



We would appreciate for the troubleshooting steps that you have tried.

• 
  Have you installed the latest keyboard driver from the computer manufacturer’s website?
  

I suggest you to use the on-screen keyboard and check if the same issue persists:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys together.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter.
  

Hope this information helps.



Thank you.

 

The m, c and shift keys on my laptop keyboard intermittently stop working.

The m, c and shift keys on my laptop keyboard intermittently stop working.

This always happens when the computer starts up from being completely shut down or after it has been in sleep or hibernate mode.

To make m, c and shift keys work again, I press the m and k keys at the same time over and over again until the m key starts working. Then, I hold the m key down and just let it run for a while. After the m key starts working, I press and hold the
c key and just let it run as well.

After the process I just described and after the computer has been running for a while, the m, c and shift keys work just fine. If I close the laptop, which puts it in sleep mode, and leave it that way for a while, the problem returns when I
open the laptop and try to use those keys again.

I have tried a number of suggested fixes I have found on the internet. Including:

Running the Windows 10 Keyboard Troubleshooter - No problem found.

Sticky Key changes in Settings - No help.

Updating keyboard drivers (to include Uninstalling Device) - Didn’t help.

Starting the computer in Safe Mode - The m, c and shift keys don’t work here either.

Running Windows update – No help.

Updating my BIOS – No help.

Cleaning the keys - No help.

Using a USB connected keyboard – this works, no m, c and shift keys problems.

The on-screen keyboard works just fine.

All of the other keys on my keyboard work just fine.



Any ideas?

 

Left Control Key Stopped Working After Windows Update

Hi - I am facing an issue for the past few days after updating Windows 10(auto-update). Left Control key in Notebook keypad stopped working after the update and I have tried many steps suggested in various forums. None has worked so far, so hoping for some
help here. Below are the steps I have already tried:

1. Update Keyboard Driver

2. Uninstall keyboard driver

3. Complete any pending Windows update

4. Make English US the default language & remove others.

All these were suggested in various forums which have worked for others but none of these have solved the issue for me.
