Windows 10: Computer repeating keystroke with no keyboard.

Hello, I have searched for hours and have not seen any situation like this.The computer repeats the "Y" key in any text box indefinitely. Even with no keyboard attached.I have tried-with no keyboard attached to desktop-in safe mode-keyboard troubleshooter -uninstalling default keyboard in device manager-updating drivers-updating everythingThe only way I can type anything is by getting to device manager using only the mouse, deleting the keyboard, then it will stop repeating "y", until I restart the computer. It auto installs the default keyboard driver and the repeating "y" again.New AMD build

keyboard randomly repeating keystroke when plugged in

My keyboard keep randomly repeat my keystrokes. Any key could be repeated, sometimes twice, sometimes 3 times or more, no pattern at all. When I remove the keyboard and plug it in another computer, it work just fine. The built-in keyboard of the laptop also have no issue. Also, it ONLY happens when I have the laptopp plugged in to a power source. If I run it on battery power, nothing is out of place.

I've tried restarting the computer, enable filter key and changing the delay setting for the keystroke, physically removingg the battery, reinstall the keyboard driver, drain the battery completely then hold the power button for more than 30s to drain the remaining electricity before replugging and turning the thing on... but nothing work! The only way for it to work like normal is to unplug the laptop and use it on battery, which is highly disruptive to my workflow.

Could someone help please?

Some techcnical info:

• OS: Windows 10 Home (64 bit)
  
• Laptop brand: ASUS
  
• Processor: Intel Core i5 -2450M CPU @2.50GHz

Keyboard Keystrokes no response

Keyboard keystrokes don't work or take repeated input and then repeat multiple times. This starts happening when unlocking the Toshiba laptop.

 

The keyboard types multiple of the same letter with one keystroke?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Did you make any changes prior to this issue?

What is the make and model of the computer?

I would suggest to try with the steps mentioned below.

Method 1: Run Windows 10 inbuilt troubleshooter.

Go to Settings->Update & Security->Troubleshoot->Keyboard->Run the troubleshooter.

Method 2: Change keyboard settings.

Go to Settings->Ease of Access->Keyboard.

Under Use Filter keys, toggle ignore brief or repeated keystrokes and change keyboard repeat rates to
On position.

Method 3: Uninstall/Reinstall keyboard drivers.

• Press Windows key and the R key together and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• In case of PS2 keyboard, expand Keyboard, right click on
  Standard PS/2 keyboard and select Uninstall.
  
• In case of USB keyboard, expand keyboard, right click on
  HID keyboard and select Uninstall.
  
• Reboot the computer to allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
  

Hope it helps.
