Windows 10: Laptop keyboard latency

Whenever I don't use my keyboard for a few seconds, it takes a long time to start working again, about 5-7 seconds, but while I'm using it it's totally fine. This happened before and got fixed so I'm guessing it's a software issue. Can this be caused by a Windows update?

Disabling laptop keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

• Press Windows + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
• Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
  
• Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
  Uninstall.
• Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.

Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
in order to uninstall it again.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

Keyboard Latency

I have started experiencing keyboard latency. The mouse and mouse keys are responding immediately it is just the keyboard. it is not all the time , but when it happens it is painfully unresponsive. The keys entered are not buffered while waiting for a
response. I have a new Logitech keyboard and have checked that the drivers have been updated. However the problem occurred prior to updating the keyboard.
