Hi, lately we have been receiving a lot of complaints with users working with our site that opens in IE mode Every site that opens in Edge Explorer mode does not recognize the keyboard as it should, for example when you type the number 7 what appears is number 1, when I type 7 again this time the number 2 will be displayed, and so on. It looks like it's after they got the latest Edge browser update 121.0.2277.112 I asked them sending feedback to your Dev Team by pressing Alt+Shift+I in Microsoft Edge to report this issue. It is also important to note that this problem has already happened before after an update - 119.0.2151.58 and fixed in the subsequent update what can we do ? And is the problem known to you? Thank you

    Hello Everyone, I was having the same issue on client PC. We found the ESET antivirus has a "Keyboard Protection" setting and once it was disabled, the characters now appear normally. So I don't think this was a IE issue, but an AV issue. If you're not using ESET, your AV may have a similar setting. Good Luck! RobB

    Hi @מירן ימינך,

    In my opinion, this issue is not necessarily connected to a certain version, since rolling back versions didn't resolve it.

    Since you have already sent feedback to the Dev Team, let's wait for them to fix this problem. If this problem is a rather urgent one, please consider creating a support ticket (Support for business). You will get 1:1 help there.

    One other workaround is to use the onscreen keyboard

    I'm having the same issue, it seems every time I run Edge on IE mode, the keyboards get all messed up. Edge version is:
    Version 122.0.2365.52 (Official build) (64-bit) I run a legacy app that needs to run in IE Mode. please let me know if there is a way to fix this.

    Hi Everyone, I am having the same issue with some of clients who use IE mode. What we found the issue was ESET has a setting for Keyboard Protection. I disabled it and the proper characters are now showing up. Hope this helps some of you. If you're not using ESET, maybe your Antivirus has a similar setting. Good luck! RobB
