laptop thinks I'm holding down the control key
This problem only started today.
When on the internet and I click on any link it opens in a new tab. So I'm ending up with lots of tabs open and I'm getting a bit .
When I open Word I get a dialogue box saying :
Word has detected that you are holding down the CTRL key. Do you want to start Word in safe mode.
Now, when I am in Word I can type Z, for eg, and I do get the letter Z and not the CTRL Z shortcut action of undo. The really annoying aspect of this problem in Word is that I cannot easily click on anything I've typed in order to edit it - rather than getting the cursor blinking at that one point I'll get a whole line or word highlighted, then have to click again (which works sometimes) or use the arrow keys to get the cursor somewhere thereabouts. This is making me because I do a bit of writing.
I run MSE anti-virus and just ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free) and it didn't detect any threats.
Hoping someone can help and many thanks in advance.
