Is there something strange happening with the keyboard?
This is amongst the weirdest issues I've faced on this PC so far. For some weird reason the keyboard is acting finicky and it seems like it's not responding correctly. "Seems" being the key word, everything I write registers on the screen, but as I'm typing them it almost seems as if I'm deleting letters when I type. This is super hard to explain so I just recorded a vid of it happening.

. (sorry about dirty screen) I am just spamming keyboard letters in this video and I didn't press delete at any point. It happens sporadically and unpredictably. For example right now it hasn't been happening for a while but when I recorded that video it was happening for like 30 secs straight.
My system is brand new:
i5-13600k
ASRock Z790 Steel Legend
g.skill ripjaws s5 6kmhz 30cl
the only thing that's recycled is AMD RX 6600. I don't think this is a graphical issue however.
Another bug that accompanies this one is sometimes when I open a new tab on Brave (chromium) it almost like flashes or flickers before it goes back to normal. I don't have any video of this as this is even rarer than the keyboard one, but usually when it happens it's not long after the keyboard starts glitching. Likewise for example when I'm typing this, sometimes when I put the mouse over the box where I'm typing it disappears until I take it outside of the box and put it back in, and then it acts like normal. What could be causing this? This is also a fresh install of Windows.
Only things I've installed so far are: Brave browser, Steam, FL Studio, Drivers through ASRock Auto Driver downloader. I haven't manually downloaded CPU or GPU drivers, when I scan them in Device Manger it says everything is up to date. I don't want to
mess [Moderator deleted profanity - remember that this is a family friendly forum.]
around w/ drivers too much cause when I manually downloaded everything from ASRock, intel and AMD I was having unbearable DPC latency issues which I have finally been able to fix with a fresh reinstall, but now this, smaller but still annoying glitch is occuring. Any ideas?
Unable to access the Goggle Drive link? Consider using a different functional keyboard on your machine. Attempt the issue with another known working keyboard on another operating system. Check if the difficulty persists on the same hardware or remains isolated to the system. Execute "dism" and "sfc /scannow" to address potential file corruption. Refer to the provided resources for further guidance.
Try a clean boot and observe if it alters the outcome — follow the guidelines carefully. Ensure no Microsoft services are disabled or Windows won’t load properly. This method doesn’t remove files, just halts non-Microsoft programs during startup. If it resolves the issue, it likely points to a problematic startup program. Over several restarts, restart the stopped programs to pinpoint the culprit.
You may also want to open the registry and go to the specified key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}. You might locate it more easily by searching for the provided GUID. Check the UpperFilters entry; if it differs from kbdclass, it indicates a third-party app has added a keyboard filter driver, which could be the source of the problem.
