Not sure why it censored a the word shift
For about the last 2 months my desktop computer acts as if the ctrl key is held down. This problem has been intermittent and random and seems to have to discernable rhyme or reason for its cause. I've tried tapping ctrl repeatedly, alternating with alt and shift and the function keys. Even bringing up the onscreen keyboard doesn't solve anything as it still refuses to type normally. I've lost countless hours of game data due to being unable to press the esc key to save and I've also been completely unable to complete my work while at home because it just won't type. The only solution I've found is restarting but the problem may come back in as little as an half an hour. Any help would be great.
