I am using a mechanical keyboard that fine. I have tested the keyboard with many software and different computers. The issue I am having is When I switch to Windows 10 Professional on my Desktop PC. It not regularly but often types a series of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz in text fields or documents where I intend to type, which is not only annoying but also frustrating. And sometimes no matter how much you undo things they keep on typing these Z. Initially I taught it is my keyboard, but I have checked and changed 3 keyboards in this regard but the same issue continues with all of them. Help me resolve the issue.

    Hi Engr. -

    I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

    Are there any recent changes made on the computer before the issue started?

    Kindly try to run the keyboard troubleshooter to check and verify if there are issues with the keyboard

    Press windows key + I

    Click on Updates & Security

    On the left pane menu, click on Troubleshoot

    Click Additional Troubleshooters (For Windows 10 20H2)

    Locate and Click on Keyboards

    Click on Run the troubleshooter

    Follow the onscreen instructions until process completes

    If the above method did not work, please try to update the driver of the keyboard.

    Update the Keyboard driver on your computer

    Press windows key + X

    Select Device Manager

    On the device manager, locate and expand keyboards

    Right click on the driver that is currently installed

    Select Update Driver

    Select search automatically for drivers

    Windows will search for an available driver software online

    Wait for the process to complete

    Check if everything works fine

    Hope this will help and have a bless day!

    Thanks.

    Kevin B.
