How can I fix a keyboard that keeps repeating letters?

This keyboard for a laptop or a desktop PC? Was something spilled on the keyboard? Any other damage?

What happened just before this behavior began?

It's keyboards fault, usually sticky keys or their switches. You can try temporary fix in windows by decreasing repeat rate in Control panel>Key board options.

I was using an HP laptop
I use an external keyboard
I have tried 3 external keyboards and the problem still exists

And this happens with the internal keyboard as well?

Detach the laptop's internal keyboard
I don't use the internal keyboard because I disconnected it a while ago

I have been using an external keyboard for two years, and a few days ago I had a problem with repeating letters

Understood. Can you boot into Safe Mode? If so, does the problem continue?

I went into safe mode and still the same problem

Have you scanned this system for malware?

I ran a scan using windows defender
Nothing has been revealed

Can you log in to your device via AnyDesk remote control software to find out where the problem is?😔

No. Sorry.

Try scanning with Malwarebytes or Hitman Pro.

Multiple keyboards having this issue implies a OS issue.

Another interesting experiment would be to boot the system from a Live Linux distro to see if the problem continues. If so, that verifies as a hardware problem.

I want Malwarebytes or Hitman Pro. With activation

Is it worth trying the Live Linux distribution via VirtualBox to see if the problem persists?
Or should I install basic Linux?

Just run Linux from a USB drive, don't install. You boot from the USB drive and run in a live session. Your current Windows remains intact.

Well I'll try it and I'll tell you what happens
Thanks for help

Unfortunately I tried on Live Linux and still the same problem

That confirms a hardware issue then. Has anything fallen into the laptop? Any foreign object or liquids?

 

[adnan-hasan]

I think yes, when I disconnected the internal computer, something small fell out

I am not sure what that is. Does removing it from the system change the behavior at all?

This is the device's keyboard
Remove it from the device
After several uses of an external keyboard, no problems occurred, and a few days ago the problem occurred

So, are you okay now? No repeating keys?

The keys are still repeated😞

If no keyboard is attached, does the on-screen keyboard work properly?

Do you have issues with any other USB devices?

There is only one problem, which is the repetition of letters on the keyboard

I've tried 3 USB keyboards
The problem still exists😭

Since the problem occurs under both Windows and Linux, you have an unknown hardware issue. I am at a loss for anything other suggestions.

It would be interesting to see how a wireless keyboard would perform, either Bluetooth or with a wireless dongle.
