Windows 10: How do I fix certain keys on my laptop keyboard that do other actions when pressed??

Hi, I have an hp elitebook and my g and h keys stopped working. At first, when I typed g and h they would type as g5 and h6, eventually, they stopped working overall. Now when I type g, it types as 5, and when I type h it types as 6. I also noticed that my 5 and 6 keys stopped working, however they started working again. When I hold shift and press g, it types as % and when I press shift + h + 6 it types as h and same for g shift 5 it types as g. Its really annoying. My backspace key just works as the / key for some things and my windows key just doesn't work anymore. My pg up key and my backw

Windows 10 Laptop Keyboard Keys Acting Strange

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

• 
  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.

 

Certain keys on the keyboard are not working properly.

Hi Russell,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

  Did you make any changes to the pc prior to this issue?
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?
  
• 
  Have you performed a full pc virus scan on the system recently?
  

Suggest you to launch the on-screen keyboard to check if the issue persists.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

These programs may include antivirus and system utility programs. When you perform a clean startup procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.

Laptop keyboard not entering certain keys (fujitsu)

Hello,

There has been a recent issue with my Fujitsu's laptop keyboard where I'm unable to type certain keys like, a, s, f1, f2, and so forth. I've tried looking up tips including sticky keys, reconnecting the keyboard connector, and reinstalling the drives to no avail. So I'd like to ask the community for suggestions, tips, or ways I could fix this issue. Thank you!

PS: Sometimes the keys that usually don't work, appear to show some life for a couple seconds of spamming, and then end up dying after. | My laptop is the Fujitsu Lifebook E549
