Hello Coder,

We understand that you're experiencing an issue concerning the Xbox One console and it not allowing you to use the typing as it forces you to choose words from the suggestion box.

If the problem persists, try doing a soft factory reset of the console,
reset and keep games and apps to help reset the operating system.

Please note before doing this troubleshooting step, make sure to know your email and passwords for your Xbox profiles.

Try this out first and let us know the results.

If you haven't already done so, go ahead and try performing a Soft console Factory reset on your console by doing the following:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Settings.
Select All Settings.
Select System.
Select Console info & updates.
Select Reset console. [KEEP MY GAMES AND APPS]
Make sure you have both your email and password on hand as you will be asked to sign back in. There is an option to delete everything and to save your games and apps; choose the latter.

Hope this helps! Let us know!

Hi

That's frustrating, I know on mine recently the keyboard takes a good 30secs or more to actually allow you to type.

Have you tried to recycle the xbox?
