If the other keys work fine, then try to turn off the Sticky Keys feature on your Windows via the Solution 1. If the other keys stop working either, check the next question: Does your keyboard work via another USB port or computer? — Try to connect your keyboard with another USB port, or plug it into another computer to see if your keyboard works. If your keyboard works with another USB port, then the problem is on the USB port. You can use your keyboard with the working USB port then. If your keyboard works with another computer, then the problem is probably due to your Keyboard driver, save your Shift key through updating the keyboard driver via the Solution 2.Solution 1: Turn off the Sticky Keys feature on your Windows
