Windows 10: Erratic keyboard

Hello,So things unfolded pretty quickly over the course of the afternoon. I'm on my laptop and the keyboard decides to start being erratic, I'd have to press harder and longer on certain keys for them to register b,n,/,space,left,bottom,and,right button. A few hours later, they've stopped working completely, and I'm clicking on the on-screen keyboard right now to fill in those keys. I recently factory reset this computer for another unrelated reason, and I've tried everything from restarting the computer to reinstalling the keyboard driver. The weird thing is that when I play video games Va

Erratic keyboard and mouse response

I have a new Chillblast PC - about a month old. Checks show no specific problems, bu in the last week or so the keyboard is erratic in its response. Perform /report shows all OK apart for a Bluetooth problem. Sometimes it works without problems; other times it freezes for a couple of seconds and then catches up with my typing. Mouse similarly is erratic - sometimes movement is jerky.
Both K'bd and mouse are a few years old and are wireless (MS Comfort 5000). However trying with the dongle in different USB ports makes no difference. I have uninstalled, downloaded latest and re-installed drivers and software for them. No help. Perform run again showed Bluetooth issue but I have also tried an old wired KB'd and that too exhibited the problem.

I suspect the problem is probably a software one but it would be useful before tackling Chillblast to know if there is a hardware issue.

Any recommendations for an app that can carry out relevant hardware checks? I know there are several around. Any other suggestions re possible causes welcome!

 

Erratic keyboard


Hi,

I upgraded my laptop from Win 8.1 to Win 10 a few days ago (I thought it couldn't be worse *Biggrin)
Fortunately, so far, it works except my keyboard is completely erratic. I had to retype this message at least 5 times! *Mad

Could anyone tell me what to do to get it right? I would be very grateful.
Thanks a lot

 

Erratic keyboard touchy touchpad Acer Windows 10 laptop no fmapp.exe


Hi, I have read some of the other threads hoping a previously posted solution would work for me. I did find the post where fmapp.exe was the culprit but I do not have that program.

My keyboard is erratic. The touchpad seems to highlight and delete stuff at will and the cursor moves around, too. I just ran CCleaner and Malwarebytes and have 360 Total Security, which is also up to date.

Thanks very much for suggestions and assistance.
