  1. Why do my keys randomly stop working?


    So today I've been playing some games on my PC and randomly there will be a beeping sound and all the buttons i am currently using stop working until I reclick them. FOR EXAMPLE: when I'm playing Minecraft Bedwars and I'm holding the shift keys it will randomly just beep 3 times and my character will uncrouch until I reclick the shift buttons, OR ANOTHER EXAMPLE (to show it's not just Minecraft) When I'm playing Fortnite and I'm holding down the W key it will make the same beeping noise and my character will stop walking forward, there is no error message or anything so i have 0 idea why this is happening.

    Thankyou, CARP

    :)

    Why do my keys randomly stop working?

    Hi. Sorry that the above advice did not work. You could try the following- Filter Keys. Filter keys is a tool which will prevent duplicate presses (holding down the key no longer causes multiple inputs). This accessibility tool also has a shortcut which can be accidentally turned on (pressing and holding the shift key for eight seconds). You can tell if Filter keys is enabled as it will add an icon to the bottom right of your computer.
    To disable Filter keys, open up Windows settings as listed earlier in this guide to the keyboard section of the accessibility options. Scroll down until you reach "Filter Keys."
    You can turn off Filter Keys by sliding the on/off button. (Again, it may be a good idea to disable the shortcut key by unchecking the box.)
    This should restore the normal input timing for your keyboard.

    This did not help I changed all of those settings to off and it still happens it also is not just my SHIFT key it also happens with my W key, anything else that might help?

    Hi. My name is Mel and I am an independent advisor. If your computer is beeping at you whenever you press Shift / Control / Alt / Windows Key, you may have enabled Sticky keys. (By default, this will turn on when the shift key has been pressed 5 times in a row). To turn this off, open up Windows settings, the easiest way to do this is by click on the Windows icon at the bottom left and then click on "Settings." Then click on "Ease of Access" to take you to the Accessibility settings. Scroll down the menu on the left side until you reach "Keyboard" and click on that. From there, look for the section on "Sticky Keys." Make sure that the slider is turned off (it is also a good idea to disable the shortcut by unchecking the box "Allow the shortcut key to start Sticky Keys" as this will prevent this from being turned on in the future.)
    This should stop your keyboard from behaving strangely. Hope this helps and have a lovely day

    for a series X I have three different headsets that all allow me to hear the game but wont allow me to talk to my friends, how can i fix this?

    They are wireless and all work, in fact I was using my newest one earlier the same day. While I was on hold for an hour and 15 minutes it randomly started working again. The only thing I did during that time was dust my Xbox series x. So I don’t know if it just needed to be cleaned or why it stopped working but it randomly started working again.
