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

    Found the solution. It seems mostly to do with Dell 7306+ the 771 pen. You can prove this by disabling bluetooth / remove the pairing of the pen. Remove pairing and pair again solves the issue.

    I am having the exact same problem as you, I am using Macbook pro (x86), Win11 is installed as a secondary OS.

    As mentioned above, this is related to Bluetooth, I have a DIY bluetooth keyboard that using this library https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard, the problem appears when this devices is connect to my laptop via bluetooth, now I made my laplop "forget" this device, and the problem is gone.

    This problem does not appear on my Thinkpad, which is win10This problem does not appear on my MacOS in this MacBookThis problem does not appear on my Logi bluetooth keyboard that connecting to this MacBook

    For future readers: If you find such problem as well, especially problem only on left shift, ctrl keys, not the right ones, try to focus on your bluetooth devices, testing by turn off the Bluetooth, then re-pair the devices to see which device could trigger this defect.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    In this case try open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.

    Clean Boot is just a mode and it won't affect any data and it won't remove any programs.

    It just disable certain services and you could enable them later on.

    This is a way to see if third-party services are causing the conflict or error.
