Keys remain pressed during gameplay Problem persists while playing Adjustment needed for smoother control
I have been searching for a solution to this problem for the last few days. Let me explain: When playing WASD games, after 5-30 mins (it's pretty random), all modifier keys suddenly get stuck (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, WINDOWS). This happened in Halo CE Anniversary and Apex Legends. This didn't happen in Fall Guys (I play that with a Joystick). When the problem appears, I'm not pressing any of those keys. This is not a Hardware problem, I disconected my keyboard and even conected another one. I have been monitoring with OSK and none of those keys show any sign of the problem until it happens. Sticky keys are deactivated. When this problem happens, all letters become their shortcuts and things like CTRL + SHIFT + ESC become ALT + TAB... I cannot open the context menu (R Click), but I'm able to close everything and click Restart. Then my PC shows the screen to repair Windows. None of the options solve anything and I even selected the "reset Windows" (the option that resets to Factory without deleting anything). Since none of this solved my problem, I reinstalled Windows . This wasn't it either… I ran the commands sfc /scannow , dism /online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in the CMD to check for corrupted files and Windows fixed them . But the problem persists. I had AutoHotKey installed but never added a script to my processes (just ran by opening them). Didn't reinstall it after reinstalling Windows. None of the scripts were running when this problem happened. Sorry for the long list but I have been looking like crazy to solve this issue. Does anybody know a way?
I've faced a similar problem before. In my situation, the Windows key locks up and A-Z activates a Win+* shortcut. The feature you want to turn off is "Lock modifier keys when pressed twice in a row" found in Control Panel → Ease of Access → Ease of Access Center → Set up Sticky Keys.
Thanks for your message. The issue seems to be ongoing. You tried resetting the game by closing it after a short break, but the keys still didn<|pad|>. Could you share more details about the game version and any recent changes?
Lastly discovered the answer. Unfortunately, it was an external numpad I overlooked connecting. I don't understand why this issue occurred, but at least I managed to fix it. Appreciate the help!
