Random keys act like they're stuck even though they're physically not

I found my fix (for now).

Oh my Lord, the effort to just log into a M$ site. Click click click. Wow.

I wanted to post here because I been having this same issue all night (W11 Pro, Dell hardware) and I could not figure out what caused it all of the sudden. My WIN key would not work unless I click it twice. Made a mess of things when I thought I was bringing up the Start with a press, or doing a WIN-R, and then realizing that was not happening. Fun too, I found CTRL would constantly make my mouse zoom!

I checked all the usual stuff and everything seemed in order.

Then I read something that made me just click here.

And I clicked Accessibility.

But wait, why? It is already disabled in Settings. Both classic and the over bloated Settings v2.

So, a third setting? It seems this has no bearing on the other settings on the other images posted. Nor vise versa. Seems a separate one. I turned that off, and my keyboard working normally again!!!

So, I had THREE places to make sure it is off. I tested and retested various combos, and none have any affect on one another where one is on, they all are. No, I had to make sure all three are off.

Maybe this can help someone else.

I feel like the problem with my PC gets worse when the overall temperature rises. Haven't really been connecting dots with any other things, like programs running or anything, but once it starts it happens very often until the next restart.

Anyone out there with a real solution yet? a patch or fix tool to apply?

I have exaclty the same problem

I've got an ASUS ROG 502VM and my windows key randomly gets "stuck".

It's not physically stuck. This bug just randomly appeared out of nowhere.

I reinstalled Windows, I even downgraded my BIOS, nothing helps. As soon as I get into Windows, it starts

The weird thing is: It just happens IN windows.

So the keys are working perfectly outside of it in the BIOS enviroment and so on. The Key gets virtually stuck after a while, but just in windows.

Even if I let my laptop stand there, doing nothing, the windows key turns on and the only thing that helps is to turn on the virtual keyboard, start an external software, wait until this window appears that says "do you really want to allow changes to be made to your device through this app" (or similar, this is just a tranlsation), THEN I can turn off the windows key with the virtual keyboard and then it works for a few minutes, sometime hours, sometimes seconds...

IT'S SO ANNOYING!!

And it definitely must be a Windows Bug. I already had this bug quite a while ago, then it dissappeard (i guess after an update) and now it appeared again...

Can someone from Microsoft PLEASE check this?

I'm using an ASUS Rog Strix gaming laptop, purchased 8 months ago. The problem of sticky keys began very recently for me, which suggests the fault lies with an update. The problem seems to be temporarily solved after a reboot, but it doesn't take long before it returns. Rolling back to an older driver hasn't worked.

I eventually tracked the issue down to a failed USB port on the docking station I was using. Try switching the USB port you are using to connect to your keyboard and see if the problem resolves.
