    Keyboard unresponsive only after control is pressed


    recently I noticed that if I pressed control, and then a key quickly after, the key input would be delayed by about half a second. This only happens with the control key, left and right. Otherwise my keyboard works fine. Any solutions?

    :)

    Keyboard unresponsive after update to Windows 10 version 1073

    Hi,

    One possible reason why your keyboard is slow and unresponsive after an update may be due to driver incompatibility. As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to resolve this issue. Kindly follow the steps
    below:

    • Type Troubleshooting in Cortana's search field and press
      Enter.
    • Click on View All in the top left corner.
    • Click on Hardware and Devices from the list and follow the prompts.

    Let us know if you will need further assistance.

    Hi,

    To assist you better please provide us few details,


              • What is the make and model of your computer?

              • Did you update the driver for the keyboard?

              • Are you facing any other issue with the keyboard?


    I would suggest you to follow these steps and try to run the Hardware troubleshooter:

    • Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
    • Click on Control panel.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Control panel
      search box.
    • Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
    • Click on Hardware and Devices troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If the issue still persists, Uninstall and Reinstall the Keyboard Drivers.

    Uninstall the Keyboard Drivers


    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.

    • Click on “Device Manager” from that list.

    • Search for the Keyboard from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select
      that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.

    Hope this information helps. Please get back with more details we are glad to help you.



    Thank you.

    • Type Control Panel and select the top most result.
    • Type ease of access center in the control panel and open it.
