Windows will behave as if the left SHIFT key is stuck

I had this recurring problem where Windows will behave as if the left SHIFT key is stuck. I opened the keyboard on the screen and it does not show the key to press. While this issue happens, unplug the keyboard and by him plugging back in does not solve it.

I'm pretty sure that NOT to be the problem:
(1) something inside the keyboard causing it to stick.
(2) the keyboard is defective.
(3) to a new update/program installed.
(4) initiated by the user, (seemingly random).
(5) the motherboard is faulty.

After searching several forums, it is clear that this is a widespread problem and is NOT limited to my hardware or operating system.
Unfortunately, it seems that most Tech this fired up as an individual problem and do not give the solution of rolling back/reinstall windows, which are not an option for me.

It is not last forever, which means that I still have not restart before it fixed itself (sometimes), and I tried almost every combination of buttons to try to repair.

System information:

In case you need something I didn't not give please ask.

Once again, I searched for some time prior to this announcement and have found no answers at the moment. Thank you for your time.

I had the same problem after breaking down or brewing Maj (sticky keys). See if the "Set up sticky keys" or deactivating solves the problem.

Even if you say that's not a bad keyboard, it could be. Try using a different keyboard if the deactivation of the sticky keys does not work. Sorry if it's a laptop and you do not have a USB keyboard.

  • Left SHIFT key of the T40 reveals context/right click menu?

    Hello all-

    On my T40, on which I recently got properly installed, Windows 7 has a curious behavior:

    When I press the left SHIFT key, it works the same as if I had pressed the right button of the mouse.  It works otherwise, I.e., then its use to capitolize a letter in an e-mail, the letter is capitolized, but as soon as I let go of the SHIFT key, the context right click menu will then appear.

    It's extremely annoying, because I can't continue typing until I sailed out of the menu.

    I checked to see if the keyboard customiser utility is the cause, I have currently my left Alt key works as a button of Windows, but it does not ask this question.

    Anyone have an idea how I could go about fixing of this?

    Thanks in advance,

    G

    Too bad.

    Had the customizer of keyboard configured to use the time left as the key to the application key.  Duh.

  • Left SHIFT key of blackBerry Q10 is defective

    By simply pressing the left SHIFT key, the key will work. This means that when you type 'y' or 'x', I get rather 'Y' and 'X' respectively. I have a QWERTZ keyboard.

    The metal contact inside has very probably been flattened. You need to get the unit replaced. If it is less than one year and you bought by your carrier, they should be able to get a warranty replacement for you.

  • My left shift key beeps twice when you press on--NOT STICKY KEYS

    My left shift key does not work. The law works fine. When you press it, it sounds twice. Has Ive restore my computer to an earlier point and that did not fix the problem, any more than to disable and turn off StickyKeys. The key itself is sensitive, it leads me to believe that it cannot be the entire keyboard. Any ideas would be useful.

    BTW, I am running Windows 7 on a laptop Asus U43F

    1. See manual ASUS [service] to see if there is any special significance to it. http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/post.htm I thought, but it seems not applicable since it is not starting, it is when running.
    2. check the sticky keys for accessibility-related technologies starting with F1 for help. There are a number of them. start going through one by one to see if something is on. You may have accidentally market something (there are combinations of keys that do this). Control Panel, display small icons, accessibility.
    3. buy a $5 or $22 USB keyboard. IBM makes a mechanical keyboard nice $79, classic, I believe to be a joy to type on (they make them for IBM). http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD
    4. Plug it in
    5. Try the left SHIFT key
    6. If she still double beeps {is your installation of windows or something in the laptop, not your keyboard. you can try reinstalling windows using a repair, which is less expensive, you need to reinstall your programs and drivers, but you keep your data. you can keep this configuration, my mother a.} otherwise, {hardware of the laptop may be in need of repair could cost between $200 (replace keyboard)-800 $ (motherboard).}

    There are more expensive mechanical keyboards, but they are for games.

  • Left SHIFT key push the window at the same time key

    I don't know if it is a hardware problem with the keyboard but Ive tried many things to resolve this question and I'm not sure what to do. Press my left shift key results in my left side of the window also key be pushed, I am positive im not accidentally pushing it and it still happens if I pull one of the keys. Press button of the left window also causes my left shift button to be pushed. tested with the on screen keyboard and that's what it shows. I tried to reset my keyboard via the menu of languages by switching input languages and reconnect my keyboard and restart my computer, but so far it has not fixed anything. Happen randomly while I was browsing the internet.

    The most likely cause of this problem is a faulty keyboard.  If it is a desktop computer, it's simple and inexpensive to replace.

    In the case of a laptop, it much more complicated and expensive.  Unless you're technically adventurous enough, probably too intimidating for you.  First problem will be to find the right replacement.  Which can be difficult because there are a myriad of different keyboards, even for the same brand/model.  It is a common problem on laptops because the keyboard is the computer cover under.

  • You will need to reverse the left and right audio channels, because I would like to avoid too cables around the living room and the right sound.

    You will need to reverse the left and right audio channels, because I would like to avoid too cables around the living room and the right sound.

    tried in SOUND > Speakers > CONFIGURE it on by clicking on the right left speaker sound time and vice versa.

    Hey DiegoWO,

    There is not currently an option within the OS to achieve.
    However, your drivers audio pourrait have a built-in effect that allows you to reverse the stereo sound. If you do not see a separate application to manage your sound, you will need to visit the website of the manufacturer of your sound card and install the latest drivers.
  • The right Shift key View 4 PCoIP/w and keypad does not work

    Hi all

    I'm having a weird behavior with the right shift key and the numeric keypad. This happens when you use view 4 with PCoIP. When you use RDP to connect to a system and using the console in vSphere.

    To illustrate the differences in the way he behaves, I typed the following string in an RDP session and a Console Session of vSphere.

    "@ @ 123 123.

    ^ Button '2' three times, three times, to left SHIFT + key '2' "123" on the top of the keyboard and 123 on the numpad + is offset to the right.

    You see that, while in RDP, the right shift key does not work and so that the console session the num pad behaves like the arrows or the end, pg DN (aka acting like numlock is turned off)

    VMWare tools are installed on the virtual machines in question. I tried to turn numlock on and off without a change in behavior.

    No I don't think that the numeric keypad problem has been reported.  But I've now reported.  I'll let you know if we have other questions.

    and after that I still increases to 10 Windows using the same product key?

    Concerning

    If you have plans to upgrade to Windows 10 Home, I would skip trying to reinstall Windows 7 and go directly to Windows 10.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
