I noticed this randomly start happening on my laptop yesterday, where for some reason, when I open the start menu or search, it starts acting like the up arrow key is being help down:

enter image description here

I have no keyboard or mouse macros set or anything, and it only happens with the Start Menu and search, everything else continues working normally.

Currently, the only way to resolve the issue is by rebooting it - does anyone know what could be causing this problem, and how I could fix it?

  • I would upgrade your installation to 21H1 and see if that solves the problem

  • Maybe only informational, but have you tried installing software to see if the UP arrow is actually being detected as a key press when this happens? Jul 24, 2021 at 18:13
  • @Ramhound It's already fully up to date (the little version indicator thing in the bottom right is incorrect, I have 21H1 build 19043.1110) Jul 24, 2021 at 21:47
  • @harrymc Yes it does Jul 24, 2021 at 21:47

Does restarting Cortana do anything?

try this PowerShell script too Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} reinstalls default windows apps(Cortana included)

do always remember to make ur system restores!
