Hi, there **fellow Onehacker** ,

Once again need your help!  
Dell laptop both **SHIFT keys stop working**. Have tried ease of access keyboard settings and updating keyboard drivers. But still not working, is there any other solution to this problem?

**Thank you!**

Try to press Shift key 5 times to check whether or not sticky keys are enabled. If they are enabled, disable them.

Hello , you can use AutoHotkey to make any other key as SHIFT key. Like any one of the Ctrl key can be made as Shift . You can download it from [here](https://www.autohotkey.com/) .Further you can refer [this](https://onehack.st/t/how-to-create-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-for-anything-in-windows-8-10-easy-method/62268).
