Why does my keyboard auto create the plus ++++++ symbols when ever I bootup in Windows 10? For a better example of the problem. If I go to the start menu in Starsdock's Start10 or even with the standard search tile style in the Windows 10 search box I get this symbol ++++++++++++++++++ which is auto created when ever I get booted into Windows 10. After a bit it stops doing it. I type any other key on bootup in the search box or in a browser Chrome or Edge and I get auto created ++++ symbols going across the address bar automatically. This has been an on going issue. Any suggestions on a resolution? I also scanned my entire windows for malware/viruses and nothing showed up from all my deep rooted searches within Windows 10's files, registry and other said sectors of concern. Perhaps I need to reformat. Or maybe my Logitech G910 Orion spark is defective. Reference the screenshots if you think you know something I don't already.

    That happened to me once and I wondered what the?
     
    But it was because my cat was sleeping on my desk and had her head laying on my G11 keyboard + key and I didn't really notice it..No kidding! 
     
    Sounds like a probable keyboard issue..Malfunctioning/sticking + key..Maybe open a Notepad text document and see if it does it there too.

    I tested in notepad and it's still doing the same thing with the symbol + even if your first choice of a key stoke is M, N, K, or P It looks like I will have to RMA the keyboard to Logitech.

    Try another keyboard if you have one, just to confirm..If you don't have/can borrow one, buy an el cheapo one from somewhere..If you RMA I'm sure you'll want to have another keyboard to use in the meantime anyway.

    Try uninstalling then reinstalling the latest keyboard driver.

    Possibly a stuck or semi-stuck key. Try this with another keyboard,
