I have a cheap Redragon keyboard and when gaming (RDR2 etc) if I push shift to sprint it will toggle sprint until i stop it or if I push Ctrl to stop it will stay stopped until i push Ctrl again 

 

Pretty sure It never used to do this so im not sure if its a software or hardware problem

Any suggestions?

Maybe you have some of those stupid windows settings turned on like a sticky key?(sorry for bad English)

I would say your English is like 99% good here, The only "issue" is it's called "sticky keys" but we all know what you mean 

 

I agree, it is either sticky keys or game settings, rather than being the keyboard, at least that would be my guess 

If someone has helped you out on the forum don't forget to give them a reaction to say thank you!

Thx for correcting me. I had an issue with my keyboard some time ago (CTRL button was always on) but the solution was new cable, old one was broken

No worries, I hope I did it respectfully, I'm learning Spanish atm, Getting feedback from natives is very valuable for me

God, I had forgotten about that crap.  Used to be very annoying in Windows 7, like in the middle of gaming you get

a window pop up about sticky keys...luckily haven't seen it in windows 11.

I do keep getting on startup: would you like to finish setting up windows now?

Still looking for the "Piss Off" option on that...
