Windows 10: Windows 10 Keyboard repeat rate settings change after restart.

Hello. I would like to change the repeat rate for my keyboard, and it works how I want it to until I shut down/restart my computer. I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Please help.

Keyboard repeat delay and repeat speed

Hi Krishnan,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I uninstalled the keyboard and mouse drivers as you recommended, then restarted, but the keyboard repeat rate is still slow and I cannot change it with keyboard settings. Any other suggestions? Many thanks. Joe

 

Windows 10 - Keyboard repeat rate resets

I have a Lenovo Yoga 15 Thinkpad that runs Windows 10.

I have the keyboard repeat rate set to maximum (which means holding the key down makes the key repeat as fast as possible.) Whenever the computer goes to sleep, and then wakes back up, the repeat rate resets to a slower value (slower value means the keyboard
repeat rate is no longer as fast as I previously set it,) even though when I check keyboard properties, the value is still set to maximum. The only way I have found to fix this issue is to manually go into keyboard properties and re-apply my desired setting
every. single. time. I. turn. on. my. computer. Thankfully you can make a shortcut to that on the desktop so I don't have to go through the menus every time.

Allow me to save you some time. You are going to send a pre-typed response which shows you did not actually read my post, and this response will tell me to run a troubleshooter and then update my drivers. I have already done both of those steps, there
is no need to do them again.

Lets move to the next section of your assistance flowchart. The one that actually has you look at my problem and find a solution.

For those who are not working for Microsoft and may be reading this, I have already found a posted solution which involves editing the registry values. I have also done that, to no effect. Put the computer to sleep, wake it back up, and even though the
registry values have not changed, the repeat rate has slowed down.

Hi Joseph,

I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver. Follow the steps to uninstall & reinstall the keyboard driver from device manager.

• 
  Press Windows key + X from the
  Keyboard and click on Device Manager.
  
• 
  In Device Manager, double click on the
  Keyboard.
  
• 
  It will show you the device driver name, select that device and then right click on it.
  
• 
  Click on Uninstall button.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, the drivers will get automatically installed on your Windows 10.
  
• 
  Repeat the same for Mice and other pointing devices.
  

Hope it helps.
