Acer Aspire 5532 - keyboard not working properly

Hello utopianlass76;

Sounds like one of the Accessibility/Ease of Access options got turned on by accident.

In the Start Menu, at the bottom type in keyboard
and in the options that show up in the Control Panel section choose: Change how the keyboard works.
Look at the Filter Keys option. Is it checked ON? If so, that's probably the cause of your problem.
I think if you uncheck Filter Keys your keyboard will go back to normal.

If that's the case your best option is probably doing a System Restore to an earlier date - back before the keyboard was messed up.
In the Start Menu search option at the bottom type in system restore

Not till you try a reboot first.
Did you use the Apply button when you unchecked it? Check it after the reboot.
I still think it was the Filter Keys. When I tested them - it gave exactly the same effect you mention as the problem.
