  Sometimes the keyboard controller on the motherboard can get
confused.  I see this most often with shift bits getting "stuck"
(shift bits being the [CTRL], [ALT], and [SHIFT] keys).  Since the
"Windows key" is functionality equivalent to [CTRL]+[ESC], it might be
that.  When it happens, rapidly cycling all six of the various shift
keys (several times a second, using both hands) usually clears it, for
me.
