Help! My Keyboard Randomly Holds Down Shift and Alt
Asked by

I'm having a frustrating issue where my keyboard randomly acts like it's holding down the Shift and Alt keys. It's not a case of Sticky Keys being enabled. This problem seems to happen every couple of minutes; it will hold those keys for about two minutes and then stop for a minute or two before starting again. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I would really appreciate the help!

If switching keyboards didn't help, it might be worth checking your keyboard settings or drivers. Sometimes, a glitch in the software can cause weird issues like this. You could also look into cleaning your keyboard to make sure there's nothing stuck underneath the keys.

It sounds like this might be a hardware issue. Random key presses usually point to a faulty keyboard. Have you tried using a different keyboard? If that resolves the issue, then your original keyboard might need replacing.
