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've now noticed that when I open the on screen keyboard that CPU usage jumps to 100% for many seconds and the keyboard is non-responsive.  As soon as the CPU usage drops below 100% the keyboard then works.

    I am having the same issue ... restarting fixes it for a bit, then right back to missing keystrokes and lag on input.

    I had the same issue and through some deduction, I was able to figure out the cause of my lagging keyboard.

    I ran through the normal steps; checking drivers, checking windows updates checking software installs and the like. When none of that proved to be the cause I looked at hardware changes.

    BINGO... the only thing I'd done is plugged in an external hard drive recently.

    So I unplugged it.

    It immediately fixed the problem.

    After some looking, I found that USB 3 causes some interference with other USB devices. Then I thought if I had a Logitech Keyboard and mouse using the same dongle, why was it only my keyboard? And I realized I was using a Logitech unifying dongle but my mouse (performance mx) had its own dongle in a different USB port elsewhere.

    So I hope this might help someone as much as is did me.

    I solved this issue temporarily by punching my wireless keyboard out of anger. Happens once in a blue moon, but when it does, only restarting fixes it.

    I have had many instances where it takes several seconds for my keyboard to register touches. I don't have any issues with the mouse and it only started in the last couple months with a new computer I purchased.
