Hello, I don't know how or when it happens but my shift key is always activated, which causes quite a few problems... I know there are already many forums that address this... I've disabled all the sticky keys etc... I've held down both shift keys without success. I've even restored the system but 2 hours later the problem comes back. What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help!

<config>Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9.0</config>

I’m starting to believe that the problem is mechanical because a message appeared on the screen: filter key, etc... except that this shortcut is activated when you hold down the right shift for 8 seconds! Yet my laptop is almost new.

Have the keyboard cleaned by a professional; something must have gotten inside it (paperclip, bread crumb, cigarette ash, cockroach ...)

Hello
You should try with another keyboard if it's a desktop PC.
If it's a laptop, it's a different story! (Clean it)
It may be that the key is stuck.
But if it works for a while and then the problem comes back, you might have an issue with damaged Windows files.
Try sfc /scannow in the command prompt.

P.S. Frequently create a restore point! It solves quite a few problems.
