Shift Key Input gets stuck. The longer I hold it, the longer it remains stuck for.

Hello!
I've had this issue for around 4 months now, and have been unable to solve it since discovering it.

The shift key input on my keyboard becomes stuck. Not physically stuck, but the input becomes stuck for a while after I release the key. I do not think this is a physical issue as all other keys function properly, and there is no wear/tear on the shift key itself.


There also seems to be a pattern for how long the input will be stuck for. After turning on the laptop, the shift key will function normally for a while. However, after using for a while, it begins to get stuck for a few moments after holding it down. Along with this, the longer I hold the key down, the longer it remains stuck. For example, if I hold it down for 20 seconds, it can get stuck for up to 15, which makes both gaming and typing extremely difficult. If I restart the laptop, this pattern resets, as the key will function properly once again for the few moments I get to use it.


I'm running Windows 10, and have reinstalled keyboard drivers, undergone troubleshooting, but to no avail. If anyone could help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
