I used my laptop last night and had no problems. As I was about to log out, the screen went black as if the laptop had gone into hibernation mode. I completed the shut down procedures.

On using the laptop this morning, the keys were all messed up. I was trying to type in a website, but what was being typed in the address bar was not what I was actually typing.

Can you please help me?

Too much to drink maybe:) ?

Check the language settings in the Windows control panel. Maybe some configuration setting has changed and you now have, for example, a French keyboard set. French keyboards are AZERTY instead of QWERTY.

If you get a double key press or some keys that don't work, it might be a hardware fault.

Or it could be some malware software playing with your head.
