Hello. The title says my issue. WASD randomly gets pressed, usually in the order wsd and sometimes a. Its not a keyboard issue because i got a new one in hopes that would help, I reinstalled all my keyboard drivers but nothing. It might seem like a small issue but its a huge issue for gaming. (if your not interested in reading why its bad for gaming dont read this part) I play bedwars a lot and i'll be speedbridging, the A key gets pressed, i fall the bridge im making and die.

I think its my computer thats the issue, but i dont have the money for a new one. I also dont know how to do stuff inside the PC. In a PC building class i had the pc i tried to build didnt turn on. The teacher didnt help though i think i can learn but would rather not risk breaking my computer.
Its not minecraft thats doing it, since it happens in discord and firefox as well. I thought about it and it could be something running on my pc that is causing it, but i dont know what not to stop from running.
Thanks for reading,
-Jim

Look in Task Manager for any background tasks or utilities being launched at startup. Do not randomly start disabling or deleting them. Find...

Hopefully just a keyboard key assignment or macro issue of some sort.
