This is so strange. It may happen a couple of times a day, or not at all. When it does happen there will be, every minute or 30 seconds, a 2-second delay to both typing and scrolling. This affects three browsers, Steam and Windows itself. I can get rid of it by rebooting, but not much else...

I have a puzzle rather than a problem for you this time.. A couple of mornings ago my wife's two-year-old Dell desktop computer did something very weird I'm curious what you think might have caused it. When you type this ----- you would get this. These would happen consistently on any...

When using the on-screen keyboard, if I type a capital letter immediately after an opening quotation mark, it screws up the computer so badly that I have to trick the computer into allowing me to save my work, and then reboot the computer. It appears to be a windows 10 problem because it has...

Two days ago I found that I could not make two strokes of the same key without waiting for about two seconds before making the second stroke. So I cannot type “assist” quickly without it coming out as “asist“. This also happens with other keys such as backspace. There is also an audible sound...

I am beyond frustrated. The built in autocorrect/autofill feature will not stop annoying me! I am pretty sure that it is something built in because it works the same across multiple browsers and applications. And yes, I have gone into typing settings and turned off "autocorrect misspelled words...

My brand new laptop with Windows 10, now erases entire strings of words after a second delay, instead of one character at a time, when I 'hold down' the backspace key. What is happening? Windows up to now used to let me hold down the backspace key to erase one character at a time. Do I have to...

Usually my system (windows 10 desktop) is extremely reliable and fast. Every once in a while I mis-type something (probably involving a special key such as control or alt) And things go crazy. Certain keys stop working (e.g. backspace). after a little frustration and banging of keys a voice...

Greetings! I've got an issue I'm baffled by - I can type words fine, but when I use the cursor to go back to previous words I've already typed, the words I've just typed in front of it are being deleted one-by-one automatically, all the way back to where the cursor is. I've turned off Overtype...
