Windows – Keyboard acts as though SHIFT is stuck

driverskeyboardusbwindows 10

I am running a Windows 10 laptop and some of the keys are not working, such as "K", and all numbers (I currently use a USB keyboard anyway, since it feels easier — plus all the keys from it work. BUT the problem being typed still remains below, even on the USB keyboard)

One of these (being the most important of them all since I use a USB keyboard anyway) is the SHIFT key. Mainly the right shift key, turning all my numbers from "123" to "!@#", and all letters cap. Using the "Caps Lock" key while this troublesome thing is going on, I can revert to small letters, but not numbers. I'm well aware that this is caused by dirt or ants or something of the sort — as this laptop wasn't being used often before and it was just sitting there. (It wasn't mine, but a friend's at the time. I had a desktop). But if I can just disable the laptop's keyboard, then a USB keyboard should work, right?

I tried to uninstall the standard PS/2 Keyboard, but then it asks me to restart for it to work, and when it turns on again… the keyboard is still there.

Instead of uninstalling the keyboard, try using Device Manager to Disable the keyboard. Its worth a shot. if not, rip the shift button off the board.
