Windows 10: Weird keyboard bug?

Hello, I am having problems with my Lenovo Legion Y530 laptop

I can type my password and type in discord and everything other than window apps and services.

I can't type in the start/search, I can't type on note pad, I can't type on Microsoft store, I can't play Minecraft windows edition but can play Minecraft Java edition.

Works perfectly on chrome. I would try Microsoft edge but it never loads, it gives "error occured"

I've tried uninstalling and updating drivers and nothing.

Any Ideas?

On-Screen Keyboard bug changes foreground window

This On-Screen Keyboard bug changes the current foreground window.

Steps:

1. Open Edge and notepad and maximize them (never minimize them)
2. Select notepad by clicking on it in taskbar (it's now on top)
3. Open the On-Screen Keyboard (in Windows Ease of access)
4. Type a few characters into notepad with the On-Screen Keyboard
5. Minimize the On-Screen Keyboard
6. Select Edge by clicking on it in taskbar (it's now on top)
7. Restore the On-Screen Keyboard by clicking on it in taskbar and use it to type into Edge

Result:

Notepad is now on top

Expected result:

Edge remains on top i.e. the On-Screen Keyboard maintains the current foreground window in which you intended to type.

History:

This superuser Q&A contains links to this bug being reported in windows 8, windows 7 and claims it goes back 17 years to Windows XP.

Workarounds:

Kill the On-Screen Keyboard every time instead of minimizing it. The bug occurs because the On-Screen Keyboard fails to keep track of the current foreground window while minimized.

Patch out the SetForegroundWindow call from the On-Screen Keyboard binary as described in the superuser link above.

Wait 17 more years for Microsoft to fix it.

Tell user to stop being disabled.
