    Thank you Sir! I updated setting as you shown, recently I formatted my laptop. After format - laptop, left key is not working with right / left arrows (working fine with up and down arrow) also same with right shift key - it is working with right / up / down arrow but not working with left arrow :D Please share solution if any.

    Because it can make it appear as if the key is stuck. Sounds like you have a hardware problem and should try borrowing a different keyboard to see if that's the cse.

I have researched and tried different things but I can't figure it out.. Any ideas? I'm not great at updating as I abhor Win 11 and have tried to stay with Win 10.. I know this sounds dumb.. Thanks if you can help and if you can't.. you do great vids!
