Ctrl, Alt and the Windows Sticky Keys work. It's only Shift. This started some time in April. Shift worked prior to me having to reset Windows. After a full wipe, I downloaded Firefox and Chrome and nothing happened after my first Shift press. No beep. No Cap. I thought something went wrong during the install, so I did it again. It still didn't work. I, avtually, had to do another full reset because, believe it or not, a wireless keyboard did something to my PC. After wiping everything, yet again, and after installing Firefox, the Shift Sticky Key doesn't work in the browser. Is it Windows or the Browser? Well, it works in Edge. And for some reason, only Edge. So, what happened? Why has the Shift Sticky Key been disabled?
