Hello everyone,

Well i'm gonna tell you my very frustrating problem that i've been experiencing for months hoping for it to fix itself (surprisingly sometimes it did... ??? magic?).

So my daily routine is coding and developing stuff so i need to use my arrows (up, down, left, right). The problem is that my UP ARROW isn't working anymore when i press it. BUT! If i press the LEFT CONTROL and UP ARROW at the same time it works perfectly. Absolutely no problem, well actually there is a problem. My frustration! I want to use it properly and to not press LEFT CONTROL or RIGHT CONTROL every time i want to use that key. There are also some games and software that use this key individually which makes it impossible.

The funny thing

Well, you'll be surprised but this thing has been fixed by itself (or maybe i did it but i don't know how). It worked for 1 or 2 hours then again went back.

What i have tried
- I tried replacing the keyboard (nope, not working)
- I tried the keyboard on another computer. (working)
- I punched the keyboard 10 times then i started singing Ameno (didn't work)
- I tried to rebind the key (didn't work)
- I tried changing the Windows keyboard layout. (didn't work)

So if anyone would like to help me, please make the rest of my life better so i won't have to reinstall my Windows, i'm a lazy ass and i really don't want to do that.
 
open Control Panel>>Ease of Access Center>>Make the keyboard easier to use.
check if all the following three are turned off:
1>turn on mouse keys.
2>turn on sticky keys.
3>turn on filter keys.
 


They're all turned off. Image:
