Is it possible there's a stuck key like CTRL or ALT?

I know. I think as the keyboards got cheaper they eliminated lights.
Caps Lock will tell you it's on. I have them press it once and try and
press it multiple times and try with Scroll Lock. With F Lock the F1-F12
won't work so that's how I test that. Fun,fun...

The thing is you can't look at the keyboard (at least not the ones I've
used in the last decade or so) and even tell if one of those special
keys has been pressed. The original keyboards, I think, had lights
above the key that turned on when it was active. I have my set up
defined so that, if I press the Caps Lock or Num Lock keys, there is a
beep in the PC speaker.

I think rebooting, which you said they did, resets things like Scroll
Lock. Not sure though and, even if true, it may not affect things like
F Lock.
