Windows lock screen

When I try to lock my pc, the Windows key is continuously being registered, preventing me from logging me back in as it believes I am entering in key combinations.
I have tried Windows update and it is not patching the issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

One of the things suggested (that I completely forgot about) is to check your Sticky Keys settings. It’s possible there’s an issue with Sticky Keys that is causing this, so that’s another thing you can try disabling.

I have swapped keyboards, but no luck. If i reboot, it will be fine but it will repeat this issue about 3 -4 times a week. Iv looked for a solution before but gave up and just “put up” with it till today when it did this t…
