Welcome to HP Support Forums. A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.

 

I understand that the Right Shift Key keeps acting as the Pause key.

 

Do you have issues with other keys? 

 

I suggest you reinstall the Keyboard driver

 

- In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
- In the list of devices, look for Keyboard and expand the list
- Right-click the device and select Uninstall
- Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the driver.
- Restart your computer 
 

If the issue persists, please run a Keyboard Test

 

- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. 
- When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests and Keyboard

 

Keep me posted if you need further assistance

 

Thank you 🙂
