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.

    This problem keeps reoccurring.  As of the last few updates, including the purchase and install of Office 2016 I now have a disturbing lag on my keyboard.  Something is going on.  I checked on different support website and this issue is being discussed in numerous forums.  It would really be nice if Microsoft acknowledged the issue and then solved it.  It is not simply up to the users to spend hours going down untested "suggestions" to "see if it clears up".

    There is clearly a problem with the MS software updates causing keyboard lag.

    Do you Microsoft badge wearers even keep up with a thread like this as it evolves?? It seems so typical of everything in answers.microsoft.com...

    Here, you make no comment when something appears as momentous as the entry here : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-performance-winpc/windows-10-creators-update-keyboard-lagging/d0c65f2c-8f27-4bb5-b794-cc40787a4cca

    Why don't you make further suggestions or comment in any way?
