What is going on with my computer/keyboard?

Asked by rojo (24179points) October 3rd, 2016

Last Friday I noticed my work computer had problems.
If I typed the “c” key it sent me “home” to the front of whatever I was typing.
If I hit the backspace key an “x” appeared and everything else I had typed disappeared.
If I hit the “1” key it typed “m1”. Same if I typed the “m” key.
The caps lock worked but holding down the space key did not capitalize the letter.
The “0” key would not type anything.
I looked at the device file and noted that there were three events dated 9/27 at 4:22 am. The first said device started, the next device configured and the last device migrated.
Does this have anything to do with the regular Windows 10 updates that seem to occur frequently?

I solved the problem by taking the wireless keyboard off and reinstalling an old wired one I had sitting around. It works fine.

Anyone got any ideas?
