I am running Windows 8.1 Professional x64 NL.
I have the following issue(s) whenever I lock my screen (windows-key + L):
- the select display pops up when I enter my password which contains the 'P' key;
- the accessibility thing which increases text size pops up when I press the 'Enter' key.
This leads me to believe my keyboard is playing jokes on me, somehow causing the 'Windows' key to be pressed simultaneously when I press the 'P' key when I enter my password.
I do not have a clue why I get the text size increase thing when I press enter.
I have come up with the following possible causes:
- My keyboard's drivers are maybe causing this (I've got a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate keyboard), though the drivers are up-to-date
For as far as I know I do not have any viruses and not any strange settings set, this problem occurred before I had Windows 8.1 (so it also happened when I had 8), I cannot remember when this started to appear but it has not bothered me that much up untill now.
Does anybody else have this same problem or seen it before? And, do you please know a solution (where I don't have to reinstall my system).
To solve the issue, you need to do a firmware update of your keyboard (I'm a bit late with this info since I solved this a long time ago). But I thought I'd post it here so that this can be of use to anybody else having this issue :) – DaGrooveNL – 2014-06-22T15:34:28.097
This question appears to be off-topic because it is answered in the comments of original post as a driver update – Dave – 2014-06-22T20:52:04.977
It is not a driver update, but a firmware update. As I stated before, driver updates did not solve the issue, but a firmware update did.
The question however is not "off-topic" as I am pretty sure a lot of users with Razer keyboards are experiencing this issue and will get here by googling their issue. – DaGrooveNL – 2014-06-23T07:55:05.863
Can you confirm that you're not using any keyboard mapping? Also, is this a laptop or desktop? Does the same issue occur with another keyboard? – Dave – 2013-11-12T13:33:19.753
This is a desktop. I am using macros on my keyboard, but when entering my password or locking the computer, I do not use a macro to do this. I only use the macros while the computer is unlocked. I do not have another keyboard to test this I am afraid :( – DaGrooveNL – 2013-11-12T13:38:08.273
Can you make sure the chipset driver is also update. Other than that, I can't help as I think you need to borrow a different keyboard as this will pin point where the issue is. (-1 wasn't me) – Dave – 2013-11-12T13:42:03.400
I just verified using the 'Intel® Driver Update Utility' that the chipset drivers are up-to-date. – DaGrooveNL – 2013-11-12T13:45:24.533
Thanks for informing me you weren't the one giving a -1, I dno who did, though? – DaGrooveNL – 2013-12-06T09:37:18.643
Anyhow, I've tried with another keyboard and it seems to work fine. So it must be driver related (or hardware, since my Razer keyboard has software in it), so it could be firmware related. Maybe it would be a good choice to open a ticket @Razer's! – DaGrooveNL – 2013-12-06T09:38:56.293
