Hardware ctrl key Acting like it is being pressed down all the time

[Deleted User]

• as the title says. i removed the keys to see if they were not sticky or dirty, no dust. every keyboard key is acting like if i had ctrl pressed, so i am typing from my phone. however, pressing ctrl alt del and then pressing esc, fixes the issue temporarily. when i press the shift or one of the ctrl keys, it happens again. also my mouse wheel zooms in and out instead of scrolling up and down. please help. thanks

You can try reinstalling your keyboard drivers or checking accessibility options to see if sticky keys is enabled. Or you may be looking at possibly replacing the keyboard, especially since other keys seem to trigger the issue.

now each tie i move the integrated touchpad i get a bsod (windows 10 only)

For BSoD, you can run the minidump through an analyser like Blue Viewer to see which drivers (aside from ntos.krnl) causes it. Then uninstall and reinstall those drivers.

Assuming it is not sticky keys (as in the disabled person/accessibility feature) then I have to ask if something was spilled on them?

SO the crtrl keys were not the issue. The touchpad driver got corrupted by windows update and it was acting this way, so i just reinstalled. Thanks for your time guys
