Windows 10: Minor but very annoying bug (?) that seems to deal with keyboard and mouse

Hello!


Recently I've encountered very strange problem using Windows 10. At this moment I believe it's an OS bug. It messes up with keyboard and mouse, and luckily, it is very easy to reproduce.

1. Press and hold any alphanumeric button on the keyboard.

2. Try to click on anything with mouse.

If you happen to have the same bug, your clicks will have no effect while you're holding the button and about a second after you release it.


Right now I believe that it has to deal with the latest Windows 10 update I received today (technically, not today, but about 5 hours ago). I don't recall encountering this problem yesterday and earlier.


I use a laptop keyboard and therefore it is connected to the PS/2 port. This bug works for both touch pad as a mouse (PS/2 port) and USB mouse.


My current Windows build is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, version 1803, build 17134.165.


I would like to have any confirmation on whether this is a real bug or it is has to do with something on my side.

Thank you for your attention!

keyboard and mouse not working

Preeti.....I think you are missing the main point here. We do not have a functioning keyboard or mouse so we can't try all these wonderful things you suggest! I am dealing with a laptop and an external mouse and keyboard make no difference. Likewise trying
"Windows x" does nothing either. Meanwhile I have an expensive computer sitting here that can't be used! Microsoft needs to step up and do the right thing on this.
