    Repeat Keys not Working

    Hey there,

    The repeat keys feature stopped working for my laptop's keyboard after a recent Windows 10 update.

    I have tried turning Filter Keys on and off again but it won't do the trick.

    I have also tried to update my keyboard driver in Device Manager but it said it is the latest version.

    The closest thing I could do to getting my keyboard to the way it was was to turn on filter keys and set it to the shortest amount of delay in the options.

    It allows me to repeat keys but at a slower rate than what it normally is.

    I have tried adjusting the keyboard repeat delay and rate on the Control Panel but it does not seem to affect the delay on Filter keys.

    Is there any way I can get repeat keys to work again?

    Laptop: HP Pro Book 450 G4 | Windows 10 Pro | 64-bit

    Thanks

    repeat rate

    Surface pro windows 10. how do you get the repeat rate for the backspace arrow up down keys back to being really speedy instead of having it repeat every .2 seconds?

    Windows 10 Keyboard Repeat Rate/Delay Keeps Changing

    I prefer my keyboard repeat rate and delay to be as high as possible. I've always enjoyed immediate response when typing or holding a key.

    I'm not sure why this is happening or if there is any correlation in when it occurs, but my keyboard repeat rate and delay keep reducing to a very low level (presumably default settings). But the Keyboard Properties never reflects whatever changes are occurring.

    Every time these settings slow down, I'm forced to go back to these settings, and toggle one of the settings lower and then higher so I can Apply those settings. This resolves it, but it eventually returns.

    How can I resolve this?
