    The last laptop we had ran into the issue, something that got spilled on it is likely the culprit. They can replace the keyboard and that helped a ton.

    Nothing was spilled as it was in a protected spot with the lid down. May be some canned air to blow out any dust and dirt?

    Possibly can try. I'd go with keyboard just getting old and stuff too.

    You can try the air. You can usually pop the sticking keys off and clean them
    I had a laptop that did that and I finally just bought a new standalone key board. The laptop was still good so it was foolish to buy a new one when the keyboard was cheap
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    Use an external keyboard if you have one.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    I'm surprised nobody from MSUM has been on this thread looking for help. Their campus-wide network crashed on Feb 1, and they've only been able to restore very limited functionality so far.
