FilterKeys is a feature of Microsoft Windows. It is an accessibility function that tells the keyboard to ignore brief or repeated keystrokes, in order to make typing easier for users with hand tremors.

You may have switched on an accessibility feature called FilterKeys by keeping the Shift key pressed for too long.
