    Keyboard stops working after switching users...

    Hi,

    I have a very annoying issue that hast started to happen a few days ago. Basically when I switch users keyboard stops working.

    Steps:

    • Start PC
    • Log in as user A - Keyboard works fine
    • Switch User B - login screen is displayed and keypboard works to enter password
    • User B descktop is displayed
      • Keyboard does not work
      • Mouse works
      • Strange behaviour - the system seems to act like the Enter key is stuck down (which it isn't). If I open word to a new document (using mouse) it just inserts new lines into the document... like I am holding the enter key down
    I've tried a different keyboard and still the same issue.

    Any ideas?

    Norwegian keyboard showing up when switching input language

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate your effort on this. I understand that you see Norwegian keyboard when you switch between the input languages. As you have checked the installed keyboard languages using PowerShell and didn’t find the keyboard language, I suggest you to
    refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and see if you are able to find the keyboard language:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type lpksetup and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Click on Uninstall display languages.
    4. If you find Norwegian keyboard listed, click on it and click on
      Next.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the language pack.


    Let us know how it goes. If the issue persists, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Keyboard Input Not Recognized After Releasing One of Multiple Pressed Keys on Windows 11

    Hello,

    I'm experiencing a peculiar issue on my Windows 11 system where the keyboard does not seem to register continuous input from a key if another key was pressed simultaneously and then released. For example, if I press and hold down 'JK' and then release the 'K' while still holding down 'J,' the system stops registering the 'J' input unless I release and press it again. This behaviour is consistent across various key combinations and is not specific to any particular set of keys.

    Interestingly, when testing this with my keyboard's software, all inputs are registered correctly, indicating the keys and the keyboard itself are functioning properly. This leads me to believe the issue might be software-related, possibly within Windows 11 or a conflict with another application.

    Here's what I've tried so far without success:

    • Updating and reinstalling keyboard drivers.
    • Running the built-in Windows troubleshooter for keyboards.
    • Checking for malware and Windows updates.
    • Modifying keyboard-related settings in Windows, including disabling Filter Keys and Sticky Keys.
    None of these steps have resolved the issue. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar or has any suggestions on what else I can try to fix this problem. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
