windows 7 - Left shift key displays right click menu




Whenever I press the left shift key, the right click menu pops up.



This is similar to the problem that I found discussed here: Shift key pops up a menu



I ran a keyboard test, and it shows that whenever I press the left shift key, it registers that as shift + the menu key, which also brings up the menu (see screenshot below).



enter image description here



I know shift + F10 does this, and I am fairly certain the F10 key is not stuck.




Has anyone ever encountered this problem before or can only suggest some methods to solve this?


Answer



As this issue only happens with the one keyboard, then it may be worth while just getting a new keyboard to save any headaches.






You can down load the free tool AutoHotKey and map the Shift + Menu combination to just the left shift and see if this overwrites the fault.



Obviously this will only work if you never need to use the combination Shift+Menu
