Keyboard delayed and slow

Anonymous

Ever since I got my PC my keyboard was delayed and slow anytime I would game or use a website (since my Pc is in general very laggy). I tried fixing the drivers, tried the control panel, in settings. Sticky keys are off and everything else that might be the problem. I’m thinking the problem is in my windows, yet I don’t know how to fix it. I also have two different keyboards, in both of them is the problem. When I looked at the website where I got the PC, someone said they had the same problem and sent it back, so I assume I got the PC that was sent back and now I have the same problem for three years. I can’t play or write properly, it’s insanely frustrating. I can’t afford to buy a new pc. Also, in some games the delay stops and in some it stays. I tried running the trouble shooter and it says that no problems were detected.

    Hi,

    Try to use the DISM tool and run SFC scan to repair any missing or corrupted system files. In the Windows search bar, type in cmd, right-click on Command Prompt and Run as administrator. Click “Yes” to allow the command prompt if prompted by User Account Control. Copy and paste the following commands and hit Enter after each command line.

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    sfc /scannow

    Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window and reboot your computer. Check to see if the problem is resolved.

    Regards.

    Thank you, but this didn’t solve the problem. I opened the on-screen keyboard, and it didn’t lag when I used notepad, but then I tried out on Opera and then I had the problem again of the keyboard replying slow. I already ran troubleshooter and it didn’t detect anything, I also had both options unchecked in the Power Management tab beforehand.

    Hello! I'm Jen, and I'd be happy to help you out with this issue.

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Does the same issue occur when you use On-Screen keyboard? In the Windows searchbar, type in OSK and hit Enter to launch the On-Screen keyboard. Then, open Notepad to test whether the same issue appears.

    You can also try to run the Keyboard Troubleshooter. Click Start > Settings > Search for "Fix keyboard" and select "Find and fix keyboard problems" > Click Next to run the troubleshooter. Restart your computer and check to see if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem persists, please check if you have enabled the option to turn off your keyboard device to save power. If so, make sure to disable this setting. Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager. Expand the Keyboards section. Right-click the keyboard driver > select Properties > Select the Power Management tab. Uncheck the option ‘Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power’ and click OK.

    Let me know if this solution works for you. If not, please feel free to reply, and I'll be happy to provide further assistance. Thank you.

    Best Regards!

    Jen :)
