    You need to search "keyboard" in the Start Menu, to get to the old control panel settings for Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate.

    I'm guessing that half of these Microsoft advisors are just using ChatGPT and giving gibberish answers.

    Hi, DonnaEd. I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.

    In Windows 11, you can adjust the keyboard sensitivity, also known as the repeat delay and repeat rate, through the Settings app. Here's how you can do it:

    Open Settings:

    Click on the Start button in the taskbar or press the Win + I keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app.

    Go to Accessibility Settings:

    In the Settings window, click on "Accessibility" in the left sidebar.

    Navigate to Keyboard:

    In the Accessibility settings, select "Keyboard" from the options on the left.

    Adjust Keyboard Sensitivity:

    Under the Keyboard section, you will find options to adjust the "Repeat rate" and "Repeat delay."

    The "Repeat rate" controls how quickly a character repeats when you hold down a key. You can adjust it using the slider.

    The "Repeat delay" controls how long you have to hold down a key before it starts repeating. You can also adjust this using the slider.

    Test Your Settings:

    After adjusting the settings to your preference, you can test them out by typing in a text editor or any other application where you can input text.

    Hope this helps

    I agree. I can't find the setting either. Keyoard worked fine on my llaptop ut brand new computer and it looks llike this when I am typing.

    So, what is there when you get to the Keyboard Properties page?

    Did you click on the correct item in the Start Menu? Like this:

    Did you get a window like this?:

    If so you should be good, and if not, can you describe what you see? Or take a screenshot and post it here?

    If not, what did you get?

    No... this does NOT help. I cannot find a slider nor Repeat Delay. Your

    instructions leave MUCH to be desired!
