Windows 10: Keystroke Intrusion

Hi,I suspect that there may be something that has been implemented in my Windows 11 that is causing extra keystrokes to occur as it only happens in Windows but not in let's say playing a game. There will be a slight delay sometimes with outputting text and then there will be an extra character appearing in what has been typed.Is there any way I can check this or reinstate my component of Windows that is used for this function without having to reset the whole of Windows or any advice on checking to be certain about the above?Kind regardsAlex

Win 10 keystrokes go bonkers


when I hit one key sometimes it drops down a list to select from

sometimes it takes 2 keystrokes then just hangs

if I persist in trying Win 10 logs off and I have to log on again.

maybe the keystroke autocompletion feature?

Need help. My Win 10 system is now unusable until I resolve this issur.

Using a second PC to enter this problem description.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks/

 

windows search not recognizing keystrokes

Hi Alan,

In order for us to assist you regarding the issue on your “search windows,” that won’t recognize any keystrokes.
You can follow these steps:

Method 1: End Cortana's process

Ending Cortana's process in Task Manager might just do the trick. After ending the process, it will automatically restart almost immediately.

• Right-click the Start button.
• Click Task Manager.
• Click Cortana. You might have to scroll down a bit to find it.
• Click End Task.

For instance, that the above-mentioned troubleshooting steps failed to work you can try the next step.

Method 2: Restart Windows Explorer

Another quick fix attempt, restarting Windows Explorer might jump-start the taskbar search into working again.

• Right-click the Start button.
• Click Task Manager.
• Click Windows Explorer. It's located near the bottom of the Task Manager menu.
• Click Restart.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.
