Help!

I have just spent the last 30 minutes on my pc trying to join a meeting on zoom. The keyboard endlessly repeats any key I touch. Even cut and paste sticks!

I have tried pressing “shift” five times as suggested by Microsoft, unplugged my keyboard, rebooted the pc…. I am at a loss wha5 to do.

Can any of you clever chaps help? I use windows and Microsoft.

Look for “sticky keys” and turn it off. Also, there should be something like repeat delay and repeat rate in the Control Panel keyboard settings. In addition, look for a driver update for your model keyboard

Have you tried turning the keyboard upside-down and tapping it to get dust and grit/crumbs out?
