When I'm playing a game, when typing the keys get stuck

Update to the situation: There doesn't have to be any demanding stuff running. Sometimes it is so bad that you can't even type a single word, sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Hasn't been happening in games in a while(don't know why or how). Haven't done a clean boot yet

Hi, Taisto523

Thanks for the reply, is your keyboard used via a USB port connected to the computer or is it used as a built-in keyboard for the laptop? If it's connected via a USB port I would suggest trying a different port or switching to another device to connect to see if the problem occurs. Or if you are using a laptop I suggest you send it to an official hardware testing point for testing. Because there is no way to confirm that there is a problem with the keyboard. (If you're using a wireless keyboard, it's more likely to be affected by Bluetooth transmission delays)

I'm sorry for being late. I tried clean booting but the issue persisted. I did safe boot, there I was not able to recreate the problem. There doesn't need to be a game running for it to be really bad, sometimes it just disappears sometimes it comes back worse than ever. I have done fresh windows install twice and it keeps on happening.

Hi, Taisto523

And have you tried the clean start step so far? I have a feeling that according to you this is a game stability issue rather than a hardware or system issue. Looking forward to receiving your reply.

Hi, Taisto523

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



Are keyboard anomalies in games only in one game? Do similar problems occur in out-of-game usage scenarios? Typically, this problem can occur due to various reasons such as high CPU and GPU usage, outdated drivers, or software conflicts. Here are some potential solutions:

1. Check for Software Conflicts: Some background applications or services could be causing the issue. You can check this by performing a clean boot.
   
2. Adjust Keyboard Settings: You can try adjusting the repeat rate in the control panel.
   
3. Disable/Remap Keys: There are software like SharpKeys that allow you to disable or remap keys.
   
4. Uninstall and Reinstall Keyboard Driver: You can try uninstalling the keyboard driver from the Device Manager and then restart your computer. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
   

Remember to create a system restore point before making any changes to your system. If the problem persists, it might be a good idea to contact your laptop's manufacturer or a professional technician for further assistance. If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
