    My Acer Aspiron E5-571 Keys "2, q, w, s, x, z, WIN-KEY" are not working

    Hello everyone,

    I have this laptop as mentioned above. ACER Aspiron E5-571. A few days back certain combination of keys stopped working at all. 2,Q,W,S,X,Z,WIN are the keys stopped working. I have searched through the internet for various solutions and found out many. Like
    troubleshooting, uninstalling/re-installing/keyboard changing/compressed air blowing/etc etc etc, and the most appreciated solution that i found was that of unplugging power cables, shutting down system, removing battery and keep the power button pressing
    for a minute and boom!!! .... I have tried almost everything, but nothing seem to be resolving my issue. Those ***** keys are still NOT working.

    Can anybody here propose me a solution which is not listed above? What seem to be the problem actually? I have tried another keyboard as well, but same issues.

    Please dont ask questions or propose solutions that i have not already addressed above.

    Thanks

    Z and W keys stopped working suddenly

    Windows 10 "Left Alt + Shift" language input switch suddenly stop working. It used to work before.

    Hi Jida,

    There are a few reasons why "Left Alt + Shift" is suddenly stopped working on your computer. Since you mentioned that you already tried some troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you create a
    Test Profile. From there, check if the issue occurs.

    To create a user profile, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings. Click Accounts.
    • Select Family & other people.
    • Select the Add someone else to this PC tab.
    • Name the user as Test.
    • Leave the password field blank.
    • Hit Next.
    • Sign in as Test user.
    Let us know how it works.
