    Hold Key Doesn't Repeat in Every Application in WIndows 10

    I am using Dell XPS13 9360 running Windows 10 with everything up to date (Windows update, Dell update, Bios, Intel Chipset, etc).

    Recently, possibly after last bios upgrade, holding keys no longer repeat properly in every applications. A few examples:

    • Office 2016 - backspace repeats but arrow and delete keys don't
    • Chrome/IE11 - nothing repeats
    • Edge - all keys repeat as expected

    I tried all the suggestions around ticking or unticking "User Filter Keys" option. It didn't solve the problem. On-screen keyboard has the same behavior

    The only way to "fix" the issue is to uninstall all keyboard drivers in device manager and reboot following the prompt. Once the PC is back up, every key repeats normal, but only till the next reboot where the issue reoccurs.

    Is there anything else I can try to solve the problem once for all?

    Holding down a key to have it repeat

    Slow repeat on keys when holding down

    To:

    Jay1_

    I'm sorry I missed the close down on this thread but I just encountered the problem of a slow repeat when holding down keys. Don't know how I fell into this trap, but it has been a problem for several days (after many years
    of using Windows). To Jay1__ I truly appreciate your dedication to helping others. Your answer of holding down the shift key for about 8 sec. totally fixed my "slow repeat" problem--only I held it down for 15 seconds. Thanks very much. Keep up the good
    work.
