Windows 7 Windows Logo Key Intermittently Stuck

heather_p03

Has anyone experienced the problem where the Windows Logo Key is intermittently stuck rendering your keyboard at its mercy?

I have not been able to find much about this on the internet so wondered if anyone here has any suggestions.

I will be trying:

1. Using a spare keyboard
2. Using the on-screen keyboard
3. Trying to Lock the PC then unlock

I have run a complete virus scan (Sophos) - nothing found.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

looks like you already have a spare - sticking keys are almost always die to muck.

my advice..
1 plug in the spare
2 Go for a shower, take broken keyboard with you.
3 shake excess water out, place keyboard in airing cupboard/on a radiator etc..
4 wait a week
5 plug in shiny clean keyboard

Yep I'd definitely try cleaning your keyboard. Never tried taking it in the shower though, although I've read you can put them in the dishwasher!

Personally I'd get some compressed air and try and clean out any crud. Maybe even take it apart if there aren't big gaps between your keys.
