I've had an ongoing issue since purchasing my laptop.
Quite frequently, when I am playing a game, I will release a key that I am pressing, and it would act as if I hadn't released it. To fix it, I would have to press the same key again.
This is very frustrating and happens on multiple keys, so I don't think the issue is the key physcially getting stuck.
I notice it the most when I am playing a game that involves using the "w" "a" "s" "d" keys to move forward, left, back and right. When I release one of the keys, I would carry on moving in the game. It happens on multiple games too.
What can I do to prevent this from happening?

I do more typing that I do playing a game, I've not noticed the issue at any other time apart from when I'm playing a game. Not a single time have I had a key type on repeat.
I assume this would be as when I'm typing, I'm simply pressing the key, and I'm not holding and releasing after quick succession.
I've already attempted to uninstall the keyboard drivers, and I didn't have any luck with that unfortunately.
