Windows 11 causing malfunction to left Shift Key

Anonymous

Hello,

I have experienced this problem intermittently since updating to windows 11. The left shift key - which I use extensively when typing - does not sustain caps lock for consecutive alphabets such as when typing CAPS. Sometimes it also does not register the key press and will not activate caps lock or type special characters. This is not a hardware issue as it disappears when using Windows 10. Can I please have a solution for this as this highly impacts my work flow and is very annoying.

Thank you very much

    Hi!

    No,it didn't happen when in Windows 10, because I used my laptop for more than a year before the update and there was no issue but as soon as I updated, it began. And then when I had the chance to roll back I did it and then also the problem magically disappeared. So I still think it's related to Windows 11

    It goes away when I turn off bluetooth? Idk if that's something you might have already tried but so far that's what works for me

    Thanks for the update. I don't have the laptop with me now but I'll try rolling back the Bluetooth drivers and see if that gets me anywhere

    Same problem here. Upgraded from win10 to win11 and since i'm experiencing that super annoying issue with the SHIFT key not working consistently. It's working sometimes and sometimes not. It's a nightmare really... I'm on a laptop.. HP Omen. it's clearly a driver issue...

    I upgraded my laptop firmware and it seems that the SHIFT key issue has gone.
