Windows 10: My keyboard is randomly spamming the X key - what should I do?

Hey so recently, my keyboard keeps spamming the X key at random moments. If I type a word, my keyboard will start spamming the X key without me touching the X key. As soon as I touch the X key, then my keyboard stops spamming the X key. I don’t know what to do because every time it happens when I’m typing something important like a work message, the person will see my message with spammed Xs at the end. What should I do?

:)

Keys randomly keep spamming

Hi KeiKei_617

Sorry, I am out of ideas, if that is still spamming on the on-screen keyboard when you keyboard is disconnected, then that indicates your keyboard is okay and this is a software issue, hopefully someone else will come along with other suggestions on a fix .
