    Cannot quickly double-press keys on keyboard


    Hi all, I have an HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13t-aw000 running Windows 11. The issue that I'm having is that that I cannot quickly type two of the same character using my keyboard. For instance when typing the 'oo' in the word 'food' I either need to press 'o' three times in a row or make a noticeable pause to get the double-letters to come out. This issue occurs for all characters and in all programs as far as I can tell.Things I've tried so far:- Confirmed filter keys are turned off- Checked for updated driversAny help/insight would be great. Thank you.

    :)

    Double quotes key requires second key press.


    Thanks but the list is so confusing (it only shows non-shifted and none of the formats match (my) actual keyboard physically) and I am not sure if it is a selected Language or keyboard issue. I have now gone with English (United States) w/ UK Extended keyboard and English (United Kingdom) w/United Kingdom Keyboard, apart from five Bulgarian w/various keyboard options. The upshot is that using my Win+shift method of switching, I can never get the double quote back where it appears on the keyboard (it is always swapped with the @) which, in a sense, is fine because I never have to press a second key to get it to display and, as I used to have a 50/50 chance of hitting the correct key (" or @) , so long as I remember they are swapped, I can get it right 100% of the time.

    Cannot quickly double-press keys on keyboard

    Windows 7 makes double when i hit on symbol keys

    Double check the language settings, maybe some strange option is enabled in there that is causing this.
    • Click Start > Run
    • Type intl.cpl, press Enter
    • Click on the Keyboards and Language tab
