(Win10 laptop)
recently, my right shift key intermittently stopped working.
i would do left parenthesis (shift 9) but a 9 gets typed instead as if I didnt press the shift key.
The laptop is a few yrs old so i figured the shift key is going bad.
But then i discovered if i hold down the shift key, the first time i try parenthesis, a 9 would come.
i'm still holding down the shift key and i press it again, and i get a parenthesis.
if it was a mechanical problem, the 2nd time i tried it should have still given me a 9.
it doesnt matter which program.
i've tried notepad, facebook, and Anandtech.
All the same: Intermittent problem with the right shift key.
Ran malwarebytes.
no virus.
Most recent installed software was Microsoft Edge Webview2 Runtime.
i didnt even know it got installed.
I uninstalled it.
Same problem.
Any ideas?
