    I put the kb&m wireless receiver on a usb extension and moved it so close to the keyboard it may as well be wired and it seems to have fixed (not really fixed but it works) the problem...

    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 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 tried everything imaginable to resolve the keyboard lag issue.  I do want to tell you that it is intermittent.  For example, I have accessed this site page via Chrome and while typing, I have found it to be smooth so far.  However, in other websites in Chrome or Firefox (which I have to use for work purposes), the lag is simply unbearable since characters are dropped and normal text converts to meaningless garbage that requires constant manual editing and correction (by the way, the lag has begun again while typing this).

    I re-installed Windows 10 last night (this machine was Windows 7 bundle originally), checked all drivers for keyboard and elsewhere, updated browsers and cleared caches.  Despite all of this, the keyboard lag continues.  Anything else to try?

    Hello,

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It looks like this case is not isolated to just one case, as all the post on this thread seems to be having the same issue after the update. Nevertheless, we would like to suggest a few basic troubleshooting step, so that we can eliminate all the other factors that could cause the issue, before we point our fingers to the update.

    With that being said, I would like to suggest to check for driver updates, particularly with the keyboard and mouse, as a first troubleshooting step. Kindly refer to this link for more information and help regarding driver updates.

    Let us know the outcome. We'll keep an eye out to your response.
