    Hi Adela. It sounds like the spacebar key is failing for some reason. Have you tried a different keyboard to see if you still experience the same issue?

    New keyboards start at less than $10 (USD).

    Does the pc get rebooted or shutdown daily?

    EDIT: If its a USB keyboard - try unplugging it - then plug it back in.
