pc going mad
mikethemadmonk:
My pc is typing on it's own. Whenever I try to type the letter P, It types R, and then begins typing an old password of mine. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail. Obviously it is making the pc useless.
All help gratefully received.

To start with I would suggest checking to see if this still happens in Safe Mode, but I believe an antimalware scan in Safe Mode with Networking would be prudent.
For that I would suggest downloading in Safe Mode with Networking and running a scan with the ESET Free Online Scanner to see what that finds.

Thanks for the input, however I have already tried this and also done a complete scan for malware. I have Eset protection and it finds nothing. This is definately a fault in windows 10.
Boggin:
I wouldn't have thought so if it is typing out an old password but to see if there is a fault in Windows, open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter these cmds - each of which will take a while to run.
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
The first two should successfully complete but the sfc /scannow will tell you if any corruption remains.
Let me know if it reports anything other than no integrity violations found.
Enter exit to close the cmd window.
BTW - Did it still occur in Safe Mode ?
