  1. W key stuck down after i press it for 2.5 seconds (not physically)


    Hi, there's a problem with my W key on my keyboard, it seems to virtually stick down for 2.5/10 seconds, my keyboard isn't the problem, as I tested my laptop keyboard and there's still that same problem, and also switched my keyboard out for a newer one, same.

    The computer I'm running windows 10 on is a MacBook air, running windows 10 on boot camp assistant fine. The specs are:

    4 GB ram

    64 bit

    Intel i5 ( not sure the generation but can find out if needed )

    and 104 GB SSD storage allocated to windows 10.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello Rowan Thomas,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand that your W key is stuck after press.

    Has this problem always existed, or did it appear after doing some operations?

    You can use the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard to test.
    Click the search button > Input On-Screen Keyboard > Open > Test the W key on the on-screen keyboard to see if it works

    If the on-screen keyboard and external keyboard are normal, Please try to perform a clean boot in Windows,so that you can determine whether a Third-party software program is interfering with your game or program.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Sign in to the computer as an administrator. If you are unsure if your account has administrator rights, see Create a local user or administrator account in Windows to find out how to see if your account has administrator rights, and grant them to your account, if necessary.

    In the Select Search , type msconfig , and then select System Configuration from the list of results.

    On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all. Select Apply.

    On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.

    On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each Enabled startup item, select the item and then select Disable. (Keep track of which items have been Disabled. You will need to know this later.)

    Close Task Manager.

    On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it will be in a clean boot environment. On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it will be in a clean boot environment. You can click How to perform a clean boot in Windows for more details about clean boot.

    Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get you back on track.

    If the problem recurs after a clean boot, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer of that computer for assistance.

    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Hi! So I was just about to contact Mojang support using your link that you posted, but I found out it was just that one world that had the problem, so technically case closed! But please keep this open just in case I am wrong, thank you all Microsoft helpers for helping me and thank you for your time!

    Yours Sincerely,

    Rowan Thomas :)

    Hi, thanks for the quick reply, at the moment I’ve been testing everything on bedrock Minecraft, I can test Java edition for you too, so then if it’s the same on Java, maybe it’s something with the launcher,

    Kind Regards
