Can't long-press ALT or CTRL, only once at a time [closed]

Can't long-press ALT or CTRL, only once at a time [closed] - Young woman with dark long wavy hair sleeping peacefully on belly on comfortable bed under white blanket near bedside table with alarm clock and smartphone

When I hold any letter key, naturally it keeps typing that key, or when I hold an arrow key in a game it will keep going in that direction.

However, in MapleStory, when I hold CTRL, it's supposed to continuously attack and when I hold ALT it's supposed to continuously jump, but instead, it does the action only once when I hold the key. This happens only with ALT and CTRL, I know because when I tried to move the jump action for example to another key and held it, it worked.

This only happens on my Dell 5577 gaming laptop with the built-in keyboard, works on my PC with the external keyboard. Haven't tried connecting an external keyboard to the laptop. I have Windows 10 on it, so maybe it's an issue with some settings?

The issue here is NOT about simultaneous keypress! It's about not being able to hold ALT or CTRL ingame and get continuous input. It does work with space and other keys, so I think it's something with the Windows 10 settings/BIOS settings but I couldn't find anyone with a similar problem as mine on Google. Again, it only happens with this laptop.

EDIT: Turning on Filter Keys and then turning on "Repeat Keys" to 0.3 seconds on both works as a semi-fix. After turning it on, when I hold ALT, it jumps every 0.3 seconds. But this isn't a proper fix because now there's a 0.3 second delay when holding ANY key on the keyboard. So now I know that IT IS a problem with Windows 10 and not with my laptop. Still not sure how to properly fix this, waiting for your help guys.

Why does my computer think I am holding down the Ctrl key?

This could be caused by the 'Sticky Keys' function (an accessibility option). If you are on Windows 7, click on the start button go to Control Panel, ease of access, change how your keyboard works. Under the option 'Make it easier to type', uncheck 'Turn on Sticky keys' and see if this solves your problem.

How do you unhold a control key?

You can also try holding down ctrl+shift for 15 secs. This will release the modifier key lock. This happens when you hold down the ctrl key down for few seconds (happens a lot on laptop where the ctrl key is conveniently located right where you would rest your palms when typing.)

How do I get my keyboard out of shift mode?

Press and release the Shift key, and Shift is on. Press and release it again, Shift is off. It can seem like it's \u201cstuck\u201d if you don't realize what's happening. Sticky Keys is enabled in two ways: in the settings app, or by pressing and releasing the Shift key five times in a row.
