  1. Keyboard dropping inputs when multiple keys pressed.


    It is as it says on the tin. My keyboard will drop inputs when multiple keys are pressed or held at once. For instance, if one is to press shift, z, and x, it will drop x, the last input pressed. This is very annoying. And as this is a laptop, I do not have the option to simply replace the keyboard, if that would even fix the issue.Sticky keys is not on, and I have tried both updating and uninstalling the keyboard's drivers.

  2. Keyboard Input Not Recognized After Releasing One of Multiple Pressed Keys on Windows 11

    Hello,

    I'm experiencing a peculiar issue on my Windows 11 system where the keyboard does not seem to register continuous input from a key if another key was pressed simultaneously and then released. For example, if I press and hold down 'JK' and then release the 'K' while still holding down 'J,' the system stops registering the 'J' input unless I release and press it again. This behaviour is consistent across various key combinations and is not specific to any particular set of keys.

    Interestingly, when testing this with my keyboard's software, all inputs are registered correctly, indicating the keys and the keyboard itself are functioning properly. This leads me to believe the issue might be software-related, possibly within Windows 11 or a conflict with another application.

    Here's what I've tried so far without success:

    • Updating and reinstalling keyboard drivers.
    • Running the built-in Windows troubleshooter for keyboards.
    • Checking for malware and Windows updates.
    • Modifying keyboard-related settings in Windows, including disabling Filter Keys and Sticky Keys.
    None of these steps have resolved the issue. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar or has any suggestions on what else I can try to fix this problem. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

  3. Keyboard and mouse inputs cancel if holding and multiple inputs cannot be used at the same time

    I updated Windows 11 yesterday, and now my mouse and keyboard do not work properly. I first noticed the issue while playing Minecraft, but I can not press multiple keyboard keys at once, such as pressing ctrl and w to sprint in-game, if I try to do so, the first input pressed is canceled and I have to press it again to continue moving. Key combinations will work for maybe a second or less before the first input is cancelled. Mouse inputs also interrupt keyboard inputs. I can only capitalize letters if I press the key combination very quickly. Held mouse inputs also cancel after a few seconds, such as dragging and dropping an icon or trying to highlight text. In device manager it says my keyboard is not plugged in even though it is my integrated laptop keyboard. I have tried reinstalling and updating drivers, but nothing works. The only thing left I can think to do is reinstall Windows. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you
