Windows 10: Keyboard Input Delay Problems in Games

Hello,I have had keyboard input delay on my PC ever since I got it, about 2 years ago. It causes keyboard button presses to register late, or for longer than they are supposed to. This is especially noticeable while playing games but can happen anywhere as I have had a few spikes just typing something in the search bar on a browser. There was a Windows update that completely resolved this problem about a year ago. But unfortunately, they are back after my PC installed a BIOS update about a month ago, and I started having input delay again. This problem occurs with every keyboard I have, it doe

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,



Chandy |Microsoft Community Support Specialist
