How To Fix Shift Key Not Working In Windows 10/8/7.
The shift key is a modifier key present on your keyboard whose main function is to capitalize lower case letters and help in selecting distinct objects in the file explorer or your desktop. Shift keys are also used with the combination of other keys (Ctrl, Esc, Alt) to perform other functions such as highlighting, task manager etc.
There are some instances where your computer’s shift key fails to work. Either it stops working entirely, or it works intermediately. There are several reasons for why this may happen; either the sticky keys are activated or your keyboard is not properly attached to the computer.

Please help me, when i press shift + w + 2 the number 2 does not work for me even in game i do it and i can't press 2 with the shift and w combination but i have an old keyboard that when i use it with shift + w + 2 it works perfectly but it's an old keyboard so please help and i want to solve this issue.
Just for share, changing "Easy access keys" does not work for me. I reset by "Trouble shooting" my keyboard, then restart, and finally: Ctrl + Shift + Home/ End work well now

Hey brother, what version of Windows 10 are you running? Go to your Settings for me, then to System, down the bottom to About, and tell me the Edition, Version and OS Build. BTW, does your shift key work in other places? Like right now typing, can you PRESS the SHIFT key to capitalize letters? In any case, mine works in normal situations, even in games for sprinting, but when I try to make a combination between shift and another modifier key like ctrl, that's a problem. In programs where I press ctrl + shift + s to save all, that son of a bitch doesn't work. In GeForce Experience, I previously set my recording and screenshot hotkeys for ctrl + shift + r, ctrl + shift + e, and ctrl + shift + s. None of those work at all.... whether I try to use them in-game, whether I try to rebind them within GeForce Experience itself, I'm simply not able to make the 'ctrl + shift' combo.....

nope- my shift key, whether on the onscreen keyboard or on my independent keyboard, will not type shift + a or w. it simply refuses to type it. having to hit capslock every time i need capitals of either letter is getting old edit- i found my problem and fixed it. seems i had made shortcut keys of these keys on my display fusion app. as a result, the keyboard couldn't type the capitals of them. if you are having this problem, you need to look at your different apps and see if you made shortcuts of them. i removed the shortcuts and chose other keys. i used the number pad keys that are never capitalized instead. problem solved.
