My Shift+S and Shift+R does not work but when I type shift with other keys it work and only work when I use Caps Lock.

I have tried multiple method to fixed this problem but it doesn't work example: turn off sticky keys, reset my keyboard in device manager does not work this have happen for weeks now and am getting annoyed by it.

It will be a pleasure if someone could help me fix this.

    Reset sticky keys to default and run DISM / SFC. (1) Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. (2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup (3) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (4) SFC /SCANNOW (5) Restart when all the above is complete and test. – John Dec 11 '21 at 20:28

    Have you tried another keyboard? – DavidPostill Dec 11 '21 at 20:29
  • Is some application "stealing" Shift-R and Shift-S? For example, AutoHotKey or Clavier+ can use those key combos for some action. – DrMoishe Pippik Dec 11 '21 at 23:36

  • See if you can make a bootable USB from Linux or such like. Start the way and see if Shift S and Shift R work. If so, you probably are best advised to reinstall Windows. – John Dec 13 '21 at 20:27

Reset sticky keys to default and run DISM / SFC.

If DISM and SFC do not fix the problem, then you are likely best to reinstall Windows.

Note: You said in a comment that you had reinstalled Windows to fix the issue.
