Is this a strange problem with my 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. Google Drive link . (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?
You can't see the Goggle Drive link? Then try using another keyboard on your computer. Or use a working system to test this keyboard. See if the issue is with the key itself or stays with your PC. Run "dism" and "sfc /scannow" to clean up bad files. Check these two links for more help: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-d...s-10-image and https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-use-sfc-...es-2626161 If things still don't work, look at Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer. Check for error codes, warnings, or messages that happened right before the glitch.
Got my google drive link ready for you to check. I'm looking around the computer now.
Try doing a clean reboot and see what happens - make sure to follow the instructions and don't turn off any Microsoft services or Windows won't start up right. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help...in-windows It just stops some non-Microsoft apps from starting, so it's easy to undo if you want. If a clean boot fixes your problem, that means it might be a startup program. You should restart those programs over and over again until the one causing trouble pops up.
You could also open the registry and go to this specific path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} (you might find it simpler just to search for that GUID). Inside, look for the UpperFilters entry. If you see something other than kbdclass here, then a third-party app probably added a keyboard filter driver and that's causing your problem. Take a backup of this entire key first, then delete all drivers except kbdclass. You will lose some features from those removed drivers but the typing issue should be fixed. Then check what is installing keyboard filter drivers...
