I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. I have an issue on my PC where it sometimes acts like i'm holding down control even when i'm not. It usually starts when i'm playing games and i must press a combination of keys by accident and it causes the control key to act like it is being pressed. I have tried different keyboards and this issue still takes place so I am unsure what to do. If anyone was able to help me figure out what is causing the issue and how to disable/fix it I would be extremely grateful.

Windows 10? Have you tried disabling Sticky Keys? If you haven't tried that,here's how you do that :

Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings app.

When Settings app opens, go to Ease of Access section.

Then you do this:

Very easy, it helped me when I had a similar issue.

I'm afraid I have already tried this and it did not work.
