Shift and Ctrl Keys Stop Working in Remote Desktop Apps
Asked by

I've been using Parsec without any issues for months, but suddenly my Shift and Ctrl keys have stopped functioning with all remote desktop applications. I also tried Steam Link, and it faced the same problem. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Parsec on both my machines to see if that would help. My setup includes a Linux Mint client and a Windows 11 host. Everything else works fine on the client side, and the Shift and Ctrl keys function correctly there, but they just won't work on the host. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

Have you checked the accessibility settings on your Windows 11 host? Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and ensure that features like Sticky Keys, Slow Keys, and Bounce Keys are all disabled. Sometimes these can interfere with key functions in remote desktop apps.
