Whenever I am typing letter ’n’, it automatically types ’nh’. Similarly, whenever I type ’b’, it automatically types ’bg’.  Some keys are working fine. Whether it is keyboard (hardware) problem or software related. Please help.

    Hi Neelesh ,

    Was any liquid spilled into the keyboard - that is a classic symptom . . .

    Otherwise, please try this:

    Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    Expand the keyboards section

    Right click your keyboard and choose Uninstall

    Restart your PC

    First try cleaning your keyboard.

    See link below on how to clean a keyboard.

    https://www.pcworld.com/article/249212/how_to_c...

    If that does not work then go to search and type troubleshoot.

    Scroll to keyboard and run that.

    Also if this is a bluetooth keyboard run that troubleshooter as well and replace batteries or charge the device.

    if not of that works This maybe an issue with your drivers.

    Try these steps.

    Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.

    Expand Keyboards then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver.

    Select Search automatically for updated driver software and follow the on-screen instructions to update the drivers.

    If no updates were found, then right-click on the mouse select Uninstall.

    Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

    Let me know how you make out.
