Hello KathleenMcCloskey,

I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be happy to assist you today. I understand you have a problem with slow keyboard speed. Did you made any changes recently? When was the last time it was working properly?

**Please try to connect your keyboard on a different USB port directly on your computer.

On the left side, Click Keyboard

Turn off Filter keys. You may also try to turn off other options there.

**Run the Keyboard Troubleshooter

Press Windows key + I to open Settings

Select Update and Security > Troubleshoot > If your version is 2004 > Click Additional troubleshooters

Select Keyboard on the list > Run the troubleshooter

**Update, Rollback or Uninstall Keyboard driver

Right Click the Start icon on the lower left of your screen

Choose Device Manager

Expand Keyboards then Right click the keyboard device

Click Update driver. select Search automatically for updated driver software

or Right click then Properties > Driver Tab > Roll back driver if not disabled

If it doesn't work, Click Uninstall device. Delete the driver software for this device check box, and then select Uninstall. Restart your PC.
