Holding ALT for longer causes it to stick up to 3 seconds after release
When I use ALT key, for instance ALT + TAB if I press ALT key for 2 seconds then it will act as pressed for additional 2 seconds(up to 3 seconds) as it was pressed. This means that the selected application will not be brought up to focu immediately and also will cause accidental combinations to be selected. Sticky keys are turned off. Here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/holding-alt-down-makes-it-stick/4ae39e59-93ab-47ca-ac4b-2f2e22378d9d somebody reports the same bug, but no resolution is provided. I wish my keyboard to stop applying ALT mask as soon as I release the key
