Windows 10: Mouse and keyboard sometimes freeze up for seconds at a time

While trying to install a few drivers that I had thought we missing after the very first bootup of my computer, I noticed that the download of what I was installing, after running through VirusTotal, over 30 red flags were shown. I was able to end the process before it installed everything onto my computer. However, I believe that some of it may potentially be on the computer, as I don't think 24% of my RAM, out of 16 GB of it, should be in use while nothing is running. How can I fully remove (if there is any) of the malware left on the computer? I don't want to reformat my drives, as I have no way of backing any of it up.

Keyboard freezing from time to time

I am currently running Windows 10 v 1909 but with an Update that was installed two or three weeks ago my keyboard began to freeze. At first, it was very subtle, but now it freezes every two or three seconds and the characters I typed appear all at once after
waiting for some time (four more seconds).

The very same issue is described in

Random keyboard freezing, stuttering typing and typing delays - Windows 10 Support

Mouse and keyboard freeze - Windows 7 Help Forums

I tried to attach a second keyboard to see if it is the problem, but the other one freezes too. I wasn't yet able to find out whether they freeze simultaneously or not.

My pc is rather old, but I bought a new SSD half a year ago (Crucial) and added some used 2 gb of RAM (maybe they're broken).

In these posts I was told to perform

• an sfc scan, which found some bad files but apparently everything is repaired now
• a memory check (don't remember how), which didn't report anything bad
• a checkdisk on my Windows disk, of which I didn't got any report at all (?)

However the problem isn't really fixed by any of these steps. Can anyone help me on fixing this?

 

Keyboard and Mouse freezing

Similar thing happened to m RAT 9, it had a corrupted profile in the firmware, caused everything to freeze every 10 seconds or so, so I replaced the mouse. It didn't cause my keyboard to stop working though.
