Windows 10: I have a problem with my keyboard

Dear All,

I am new to ten forums.

Hello.

I have a problem with my keyboard. When I type with it I can enter about 8 or nine characters (sometimes more) and no more at all UNTIL I move the mouse to end of the text I just typed and left click then the cursor appears.

At that point I can carry on typing for another 10 characters or so and I have to repeat the process.

I had this problem in Windows 10 for a long time now.

I can't seem to get rid of it.

Running Linux OSes on this amd 64 kaveri box seems to abolish the problem.

I have had to perform the mouse cursor click fix several times now to type this email.

I noticed that if I logout and log back in again as administrator in Windows 10 the problem goes away.

Suggestions on a fix for this would be appreciated.

It doesn't help if you change to a different kind of keyboard.

Cheers

Michael Fothergill.

Keyboard problem in Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.
  

Hope the information is helpful.

Here are the first two steps you need to take:

• Try a different keyboard (or an external USB keyboard in case of a laptop)
• See if the problem persists with the on-screen keyboard (osk.exe)

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
