It could be that you enabled filter keys by you holding down the shift key for more than 8 seconds.


click start menu > control panel > accessibility options
the checkbox next to 'Use FilterKeys' should be unchecked, if it is checked, uncheck it and


then click the 'Settings' button next to it
Then uncheck the box near the top that says 'Use Shortcut'

if this doesn't work then you may want to have a look at some of the other keyboard accessibility options and see if you can get something to work

you may have to restart windows in order for the changes to filter keys to take effect.


hope this helps

SOURCE: SHIFT KEYS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

Please try to deactivate the Fn (function) key. That will help you get rid of your problem. Press Fn key + Numlock key once and try again. You can also try pressing the Fn key once and type letters in any word processor program with the key combination everytime you press the Fn key once. E.g. open the notepad, press Fn once and after that press ) with Shift.

If you have problem, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

My laptop keyboard not working normally, keys not display the keys i want to type, display the other character on the keyboard...my laptop model ASUS eee PC 1001

Hello,

This is because you have Num Lk activated.
To deactivate, hold down the Fn key and press NumLk (it's the same key as insert)

Now you will have the normal characters when typing.

Shift key not working

You have 2 Shift keys on the keyboard. If the other shift key is working then the shift key that is not working is defective. You should consider replacing the keyboard on your laptop. There is no setting on Windows that can disable the shift key.

**Note : If both Shift keys are not working, Try to check if sticky keys feature on windows is on. Sticky keys should be disabled. To disable sticky keys, Click on start and Go into control panel > Accessibility Options, and under keyboard there is sticky keys. Remove the tick and click apply and OK.
