Curser freezes after typing

Hi Mike,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.

To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.

• What is the model number of the computer?
• Where exactly the issue occurs? Is it while typing in a particular application?

Try the steps listed here:

Method 1:

I suggest you to disconnect all external devices except mouse and keyboard and check if the issue occurs.

Method 2:

I suggest you to run the System Maintenance troubleshooter and check if it helps.

a. Press Start Button and type Troubleshooting

b. Open Troubleshooting.

c. Now type System Maintenance Troubleshooter in the search option.

d. Click on System Maintenance troubleshooter to run the troubleshooter.

Method 3:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to set the computer in a clean boot state and then check if you can open Windows Update. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help to identify if any third party applications or
startup items are causing the issue.
