Keyboard Cursor Acts Weird
 
Im having a problem where im unable to use the windows search facility as its acting weird as if i have a stuck button where i dont.

I have tried unplugging my keyboard and i still get the same results.

I have uploaded a video to show u what i mean but just cant fix the issue.

If not a stuck key then time for a new keyboard.

Or could it be a driver issue? You were talking about deleting unwanted drivers - have you deleted one you do need by mistake?

If my PC starts acting strange I usually run a full malware/virus scan after a reboot.

Did you use that driver problem and try to fix something that was not broken ?

There is a keyboard in Windows you can use, if your hard wired one ever plays up. Under 'accessibility'. Just use the mouse, to click on the keys. A bit slow but useful in an emergency coffee over the keyboard situation....

If you go to BIOS setup (or whatever these days) do you see same behaviour? Can you try a Linux live DVD and see if issue is there? Trying to see if it's O/S or software or driver or hardware?

Can you borrow another keyboard to rule that out?

Well if you're pretty sure it's not the keyboard you could always restore windows back to a point before the problem started? It'll also tell you what changes it's undoing to give you an idea of what may of caused the issue.
