My friend received a new laptop running windows 8 (acer v5-471).
When the 'w' key is pressed it brings up the search page With settings filter selected (e.g apps, settings, file filters) when shift + w is pressed it prints 'W'.
All other keys work as expected, the keyboard layout is set correctly and no keys are stuck (easy to tell as its backlighted)
Any ideas?
Thanks Rob
Edit: the WindoWs key seems to do the same thing :\
EDIT: Was a hardware problem and the laptop has been returned. Tried a linux live cd and the problem persisted.
