About this tag
A stuck key issue in Windows can cause the system to behave as if a key is being held down, leading to unwanted selections, cursor movement, or repeated inputs. Users report problems such as Windows automatically selecting items to the left, dragging sliders, or acting as if the Ctrl key is pressed. Troubleshooting steps include checking for physical keyboard obstructions, trying a different keyboard, performing Windows updates, and restoring the system. In some cases, the issue persists even after a complete restore or keyboard replacement, suggesting a software or driver conflict. This tag covers discussions about diagnosing and resolving stuck key behavior in Windows.

    Windows 10 My windows keeps selecting stuff to the left

    My windows keeps selecting things on the left, like my tab and left arrow key is stuck. As soon as i try to click anything anywhere, my it just goes as long to the left as possible. Same thing in game, if i try to change the volume or change my sensitivity it just drags down as far as possible...
