  1. Keyboard bug


    In the last couple of hours my machine developed a strange bug. When I type:


    if I'm typing in Word, dialog boxes open, menus get highlighted, the cursor location changes, perhaps as if the ctrl or tab key were being activated;


    if I'm typing in a URL bar, the text gets rapidly and repeatedly highlighted, several times a second, producing a flickering effect; if I keep typing while this is happening, the text gets typed over, but not like the insert key is on.


    Machine: ASUS notebook P550L

    OS: Windows 10 Pro

    Version: 10.0.18362


    I've restarted several times.


    I just ran a Malwarebytes scan, finding nothing.


    The windows troubleshooting feature for the keyboard finds nothing.


    The device manager says keyboard drivers are up to date.


    I can give more information if needed.

    :)

    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.
