    Occassionally after gaming where the keys ill press are shift, alt, ctrl and the arrow keys, my laptop's keyboard seems to have alt always pressed down (eg pressing d key without any other key puts my mouse at address bar of a browser, it does not make me spam skills or jumping ingame as if alt is pressed however). I can resolve it by restarting the pc so doesn't seem like the key is stuck, sticky key is turned off but three other ones in it are on (image) upload_2026-6-18_11-9-47.png

    Couldn't figure out how to resolve it without restarting pc, any ideas? Thank you

    Okay so from other reddit threads, this solved the issue (magically)

    Pressing the buttons in these order:

    LSHIFT+LCTRL+LALT+RSHIFT+RCTRL+RALT

    my laptop doesn't have RCTRL AND RALT but I had changed my "alt car" and "copilot" key into those using powertoys app. for royal purposes.
