Do you have stamina?

Unlike fallout, (trying) starting a sprint doesn't pull you out of crouching.

If you want to run, you have to manually uncrouch. I would bet that is the issue you are having.

Yes, my carry weight is is 234/310. My stamina is full but wont let me sprint. I drop all of my armor and still nothing

I don't think you're understanding what i am saying. I CAN NOT sprint no matter what. I load into a different save and still i cant sprint

Is your character morbidly obese?

Check to make sure the key still works, also check to make sure you did not somehow unbind it or binded some other key.

When i exit game to desktop and go back in i can sprint but it randomly stops and my character camt sprint or jump

Hmm all I can think of is caps lock key is on, you are sneaking(sometimes 3rd person sneak animation is hard to see), a key is messed up, or you are running out of stamana, possibly during the day as a vampire.

I'm having the same exact issue. These guys aren't reading your post at all. I've also rebound it to other keys and reloaded older saves. My look and move sensitivity are also whacked. It started right after I enabled gamepad configuration.

This is a huge deal for me, which keeps me from playing regularly. There I am trying to sneak up on some Foreswarn, take my shot with a bow, and can't run when they're running after me. I'm mashing buttons for the next few seconds, because it is unnatural to do anything other than press the sprint button. It's the dumbest thing ever, and there are no mods to fix that.
I understand that it's how silent roll works, but that's just a very bad excuse. It should not require a manual standing up when you don't even have silent roll. Silent roll should be made to work with good controls. Controls should not be worse to accommodate of silent roll.

So lets just get this straight. You're blaming the game, on your inability under stress, to push a key to get you to stand up before sprinting.

I have no issues running away when I have previously been crouching, as i stand up first.......you seem to not be able to do this, but how is this the games fault? Clearly there are mechanics in the game for you to stand up again, its not a fault in the game if you panic and mash buttons, this is on you to simply get better at the controls.

I am god awful at racing games, but I do not go around blaming the game for me crashing or not being fast enough to win, I accpet I am just pants at racing games, and yes I get better with practise, but I know its just me not the game. (though granted at the time I loose, I call the game everyname under the sun)

I think you are missing the point I was trying to make. You can get good at bad controls. Or the game could have better controls to begin with.

The game has incredibly easy controls; 99% of them are the same as every other action game for PC. Stand up, then sprint.
