My windows password (aFter locking the machine, or when starting up)
contains the letter F. This works Fine. I can also type it in here, or
in any program iF it's a capital F. But the lower case F is not
Functional, even though it's ok in the password. What on earth is going
on?

Go and buy a new keyboard - easy to solve any problems like the one you
are describing.

Hey Mr Knife, why don't you use a knife and remove the key to see if the
connection is blocked by dirt from your dirty hands. You really need
to wash your hands regularly especially after going to toilet. or when
using a computer with Windows 10!!!!!!!!!!!!1.

You're not very bright are you? I already explained that it works when
the shiFt is pressed, and works perFectly normally entering the windows
password, so it's clearly not a keyboard problem. Try again.

I'm certainly brighter than you are. What is your lux or lumen reading?

It doesn't prove anything "clearly" as you put it. If you can't
afford a new keyboard then steal one from your neighbour and try it. If
it doesn't work then return it back so that your neighbour doesn't
report you to the police.


Try again.


Tried above. I won't try again because you are an "Askhole" If you
don't know the meaning of this word then use Bing or Google to read
about it.

Already tried that, dimming the room lights didn't make the key work.

If the keyboard works sometimes and not others, it's clearly a software
problem.

Try again.

My newsreader tells me you made the word up, I believe it.

nope. it's almost certainly flaky hardware.

try a different keyboard and see if the problem goes away. if it does,
you know it's the original keyboard.

I know how to do that, I have a remapper installed already, but I'd prefer
to fix the problem rather than work around it. The above is like what
doctors do - high blood pressure? We'll lower it with a pill, nevermind
what's causing it....

try removing it and see what effect it has.

but it's clear you aren't interested in a solution.

Why would I use that to work around a problem instead of finding the
reason?
