Sounds like you need a new keyboard.
Did you pull through? Just FYI, we all pulled an all nighter for that shit, I only peaced out at ~5am
same situation literally don’t know wtf to do
Perhaps have another language installed and pushed ALT + Shift at the same time? Go to the Language bar and uninstall other languages if that's the case.
If not try turning off windows keyboard shortcuts: windows key -> type in "keyboard shortcuts" and disable everything
Sounds dumb but try unplugging your keyboard and plugging it back in, and restarting your computer.
That's all I can think of for now, short of going into the BIOS and rebinding keys.
I’m not sure if this will work but when I once had this issue I went into task manager and restarted windows explorer. It ended up fixing it for me. I can’t recall whether or not I had to restart my computer afterwards, though.
run to walmart/bestbuy and get a keyboard and plug it into your computer/laptop
