Default F key doesn't work in windows, but I can use it in my Windowspassword?!

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.

Bull****. Utter bull****. The F ALWAYS works entering my Windows
password. Once logged in and the screen unlocked, I can NEVER use the
lower case F in ANY application. Something which runs only when actually
at the desktop is stopping that key.

the only way to be sure is by swapping keyboards and see where the
problem follows. it's part of any standard troubleshooting steps and
easy to do.

This link that Paul previously posted will have things sorted in short
order.

Just map the lowercase 'f' back to "f", like it belongs, and you're
golden. Or, use one of the programs described there to simply reset all
of the keyboard mappings back to your defaults. Either way should work
equally well.

I'd prefer to know why it broke in the first place. By the way it's not
currently doing it, seems to be every other day. Must be a dodgy piece of
software I should be deleting.

It's not an attitude, it's a statement of disagreement.

In that case all the APPS have a fault. So shut the computer and join
the Taliban or IS fighters. (IS stands for Islamic State assuming it
exists on this planet. just for your info as you are another idiot on
this newsgroup) When you have finished with them or when they have
finished with you, come back and all the APPS will have been fixed.

Bye bye Askhole.


Ever tried making an ounce of sense?

And nobody likes your silly background HTML colour ****.

It's clear already that something stops it working only in certain
circumstances. A hardware fault would stop me entering my password.
