Hello,IKER_Luvely

Thank you for reaching out with your concern about keyboard delay when playing games on your laptop.

I understand how frustrating it can be to experience input lag while gaming. I'll be glad to assist you in resolving this issue.

To provide you with appropriate guidance, I'd like to gather some more information:

1. Can you please provide the make and model of your laptop? This information will help in understanding the specific hardware configuration and capabilities of your laptop.
   
2. Are you experiencing keyboard delay only in certain games, or does it occur across all games you play? If it only delays in specific game, could you please let me know the name of the game.
   
3. Have you noticed any specific patterns or triggers that lead to the keyboard delay during gaming?
   
4. Does the keyboard delay happen immediately when you start a game, or does it occur after playing for some time?
   
5. Have you monitored the CPU and GPU temperatures while gaming to see if overheating could be a factor?
   

Additionally, please let me know the specifications of your laptop, such as the CPU, RAM, and graphics card (GPU).Since you mentioned that your laptop runs at 80-50% CPU usage while playing games, it's worth considering if any background processes or applications might be consuming resources and causing the delay.

Once I have this information, I'll be able to provide you with more targeted troubleshooting steps to address the keyboard delay and improve your gaming experience.

Looking forward to your response so that I can assist you further.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with playing games on Windows 10.

• Do let us know what exactly happens when you try to play the card games?

Try the below and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to Uninstall/Re-install the Graphic Card Driver
and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows + X from the keyboard and click on Device Manager.
  
• 
  Find and double-click the category of device whose driver you wish to uninstall (for example, the graphics card would be listed under Display Adapters).
  
• 
  Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
  
• 
  Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
  OK to remove the driver.
  
• 
  After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer.
  

Later, try to search for the drivers with the help of model number of your computer from the Manufacturer’s website:

Step 2: I suggest you to uninstall and re-install the Microsoft Solitaire Games and check.

• 
  Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the main screen.
  
• 
  Select All apps, and then find your game in the list.
  
• 
  Press and hold the game tile, and then select
  Uninstall. Alternatively, you can right-click the game tile and then select
  Uninstall.
  
• 
  Follow the steps to uninstall the game.

  To reinstall your game, open the Store app, and then select the profile button.

Issue With Laptop's Keyboard While Playing Games

only thing i could really think of or suggest would be getting a controller to play games .. that would probably solve this problem or if you get a better keyboard to hook up to your laptop to use while gaming.. those are only solutions i could think of and that would work better.
