After updating to the Creators Update, mykeyboard has been lagging, with a few seconds of normal typing, there are significant delay where keystrokes will not register.

Have already checked for updated drivers and troubleshooted, both to no avail.

    I am having the same problem as everyone else. The keypresses on my keyboard may all of a sudden stop registering of an on and seem to be worse for certain keys (Backspace, shift) but basically makes the keyboard useless and impossible to type. As someone using a keyboard all day this can get very frustrating especially during moments of high pressure (meetings, or collaborate development) 

    It only started after changing laptops. It may be due to software / driver differences - hard to say.

    I am using a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard - bluetooth, HP Z-book, and Windows 10. 

    I found one fix to be throwing the keyboard down on the floor, hard, key side down. I did it in frustration the first time and it fixed the problem. Then as it subsequently kept happening i kept throwing the keyboard on the floor or banging the key-side down hard on my knee and the problem went away for a bit. For that reason, I thought maybe a faulty receiver in the keyboard

    Then after reading through this forum I saw the suggestion to change the slow keys setting, which seemed to work!!!

    Never mind! it just happened again. This makes me think its a memory issue. almost like the memory gets full while typing. then maybe if you stop for a bit it gets fixed. 

    So just this second I slammed down the keyboard hard and that fixed it again. I notice when i do a little green light comes on between the gap in the middle of the spacebar. As if its re-connecting to bluetooth or something. 

    I give up. I will have to replace it. Thats all I can see. Although I'm sure this is software related.

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why you are experiencing this problem and that's what we are going to figure out. This type of issue normally happens when there's a hardware failure or software change made on the computer prior to this concern. Before we proceed with the troubleshooting steps, we would like to know more about this concern. Kindly answer the questions below:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Are you using an external keyboard? If so, have you tried using a different keyboard to isolate this issue?

    I am using an external microsoft Bluetooth keyboard

    My HP Envy laptop keyboard is lagging right after that update too.  I have not had time to read the whole thread, but I will certainly do so.  The problem started right after I installed Creator!

    Has anyone been able to fix this?  It is getting horrible.  Mine is not constant, one minute it works, the next keyboard gone.  

    This is not a hardware issue.  I cannot use the Microsoft Surface Keyboard at all on my Surface anymore.  I hooked up a Bluetooth and it seems to be doing fine now.  But I would prefer to have my regular one working.

    Same issues here. Why are they not fixing this?

    I have same or maybe worse issue. Few days ago I updated my Windows 10 as well, for days everything went just fine. Until, this morning when I turned it on.

    I can't use my laptop at all, because lag on the keyboard made my powerful piece of tech absolute useless. I can't write on it without multiple key strokes, what make my work on it terrible.
