    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.

  3. Programs become unresponsive in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both with different results.

    Step 1: Safe Mode:

    This seemed to work and I could save a file in Word without the program becoming "Unresponsive".

    Step 2: Clean Boot:

    This did not work and Word would become unresponsive when trying to save a file.

    I did notice another odd thing. It seems that sometimes (not often) Word would work the first time I used it If I close it and reopened it the unresponsive behavior returned. I tried opening Word several time but it remained unresponsive.

    This is very frustrating as I use Word daily.

    windows 10 unresponsive

    Hi,

    This issue could occur due to
    missing/corrupted system files
    that happened while upgrading/updating Windows 10 and
    outdated drivers that causes your computer to be unresponsive/slow. We suggest that
    you perform these following methods of troubleshooting:

    Method 1: Update the drivers.

    To know how to update your drivers, please click
    here.

    Method 2: perform a clean boot.



    To know how to perform a clean boot, click this
    link.

    If the issue persists, proceed to
    method 3 and method 4.

    Method 3:
    Run SFC Scan.

    To run an
    SFC scan, follow these steps:


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.

    This will check and run an auto-repair on the issue.

    Method 4:

    After running the
    SFC scan
    and the issue still persist, run the
    DISM
