i don’t actually know what the source of the issue is, so i’m not too sure about a flair aside from windows
i am absolutely baffled as to why. the keys U I O P keep repeating occasionally … not as though they’re being held down, just. Duplicating or tripling or even sometimes quadrupling ! sometimes they go a single time, but sometimes they don’t work at all.
i have a video, but really all it did was show exactly what i explained above.
info about my computer - lenovo laptop; ive had it for about 4-5 years now. i didn’t download anything nor did i change anything about my computer when it started. i did however update from windows 10 to 11 in hopes that it would fix the problem [it did not]
now i’ll list every method i tried [in order]/
-
ran the windows 10 [then] keyboard troubleshooter; no issues found
-
restarted my laptop
-
ran hardware & devices troubleshooter . one issue was found that drivers wouldnt install? but it fixed it and its still happening so i dont think it was related anyways
-
ran windows security tool [no threats found]
-
ran TotalAV to find threats just in case . still found none. cleared unneeded stuff and nothing changed
-
tried to update the driver but it was up to date
-
removed japanese as an option for languages [i downloaded it a while back]. didn’t think it would change anything, but just in case
-
changed the repeat delay [i made it slower, nothing changed]
-
edited the windows registry. set autorepeatdelay to 500, autorepeatrate to 50, and bouncetime to 35. applied and restarted and nothing changed.
-
updated to windows 11 in hopes of it fixing Something
-
lifted up i key and cleaned it out pretty decently. even the button part still duplicated it though so it is Still not working
i have no clue why this is happening tbh . tips would be appreciated!! i dont really know much about computers in general despite using them like every other day . so coming here is my last resort because i’m not fully educated on this lmao so if i say something horrendously incorrect, that’s probably why !
Have you tried a new keyboard?
At 4+ years, it’s time.
sorry for the late reply but i recently found out i only had it for just below 3 years . also is a laptop 😞
Some keyboards don’t last long. Given the choice between a new keyboard or a new laptop, which one would you choose?
