MacBook Pro keys periodically stick
I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch 2017 with a keypad that periodically sticks on certain letters, usually the "u" but often the "h". Is there a fix for this?

Try cleaning the keyboard using the directions in this Apple article making sure to keep the can of compressed air upright or you can cause damage to the laptop from the cold wet propellant:

If this does not work and if your laptop is less than four years old, then it may be covered by the free Apple keyboard repair program, otherwise you will most likely need to pay for the repair:
