  1. Why when pressing down shift + W 1 and 2 keys don't work?


    I just got a brand new keyboard for my incoming pc but when trying it out in a game i realized i couldn't use the 1 and 2 keys while pressing down shift + W. At first i thought it was because the game settings broke when connecting the keyboard but then i tried to do the same combination in a text line but still didn't work. How do i fix this?

    :)

    I would say the only other option would be to reset your operational system. You will not lose your files, games and apps. It will just replace all Windows system files with new ones so any corrupted file that could make your keyboard driver not work as expected will be replaced.

    Please go to Start > Settings (the gear icon) > Update & security > Recovery > Reset this PC. Choose Get started > Keep your files > Download from cloud > Follow the instructions.

    You can also refer to the "Reset your PC" section at:

    So this issue occurs only on the wired keyboard, right? Your laptop's keyboard work just fine, right?

    In this case, I would suggest you to uninstall your keyboard driver and install it again. Please go to Start > Search and click on Device manager > Find your keyboard driver > Right-click on it > Select uninstall > Disconnect the keyboard from your pc > Restart your PC > Connect the keyboard again and wait until the driver is installed again.

    Please let me know if the issue persists.

    Hello, Arnau. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    Do you have other keyboard to test it? Maybe this issue is related to a hardware issue and something may be wrong with your keyboard circuit. You can try downloading a keyboard test software, such as Keyboard Test Utility to test your keyboard keys.

    Feel free to ask back any questions and please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you for replying Lucas, i'm testing this keyboard on my laptop so, yes i have another keyboard and i already tested it to see if it was my laptop or the keyboard but the problem only appears to occur on the keyboard and i have tested a lot of programs but it's like it doesn't detect it or something i don't know, please help me out of this.
