The "y" key on my keyboard random does not register when using typed. Plugged it in on laptop and it works fine there, but not on this PC. Must be some software preventing it bc I was working fine a few weeks before. I could use some help because this is driving me insane. Thank u.

    I actually was able to solve the problem. I found that the key was remapped using an input tester and that was causing the problem so I deleted it and now it works. Thank you so much for your help.
