How do I fix the huge keyboard input delay on laptop?

This happens mostly when I'm playing games or when I'm coding, but most of the time when I press the keys it would take a few seconds to actually respond and whenever I let go of them, they still continue the action after a couple seconds. I've tried reinstalling the keyboard driver, which didn't work. This problem started to occur 8 or 9 months ago right as a app called "Roblox Player" stopped working.

    Hello,

    Sorry for not replying. I use the inbuild keyboard in my laptop but i use a Bluetooth(wireless) mouse which also has a keyboard but i dont use it because it has a lot of key travel and i have tried to use the Bluetooth keyboard instead of the inbuild one, but it was the same and i had also tried to use a wired keyboard, but it was also the same. I have a doubt, which is that a app called "roblox player" stopped working when this input delay problem started to occur so I want to know if there is any connection between the problem and the app and the app is still not working after I reinstalled it many times. And is it possible for us to communicate using gmail instead of this website?

    I have tried them but the problem is still the same but the cpu usage has gone down by a lot(it was using average 72% to 90% before but now just 5% to 15% at idle) but still there is input delay tho😒 and the "roblox player" app as suddenly started to work after I did all the steps and creating a new profile did nothing

    Hello,

    Since the issue also happens to the built-in keyboard, it is likely that the delay is caused by a third-party application (could be the "Roblox player" you were talking about.

    You can try performing a clean boot first to rule out the influence of third-party software, and see whether the issue persists.

    To do so, right-click Start->Task manager. Go to the "Startup" tab, and disable all startup items. Then, press Wondows+R and enter "msconfig". Go to the "Services" tab, select "Hide all Microsoft services", and then select "Disable all". Select Apply and reboot. See whether the issue persists.

    Please refer to this support article for details, and how to pinpoint the application causing the issue.

    Disclaimer: A "clean boot" starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs.

    It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance; however to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step, so that it will help you get back on track.

    If the issue persists, there may be a profile corruption. Please try using a new clean profile by creating a new local administrator account.

    To do so, right-click Start->Terminal/PowerShell/Command prompt (Admin), and enter the following commands:

    net user user1 pass1 /add 
    
    net localgroup administrators user1 /add 
    

    (Replace "user1" and "pass1" with the username and password of the new user.)

    After creating the user, reboot the computer, select the new user, and log in. See whether the issue persists.

    Hello Shaen S.,

    Thanks for reaching out here in the Microsoft Answers Community.

    Based on the description, it seems that the connection between the keyboard and the computer is poor.

    Are you using the internal keyboard on a desktop, or a standalone keyboard? If it is the latter, how do you connect the keyboard to the computer (PS/2, USB wired, USB dongle, or Bluetooth)?

    We look forward to your response.

    Best Regards,
