Strange, same problem on HP Eleitebook and same Windows 11 21H2 2000.258 build :(
Win11 Search and other apps typing issue
I have an issue where today (Jan 16,2024) in the taskbar search bar it either double types every character or doesn't at all. This is not just isolated to the search bar, when attempting to utilize any MS Win app feature that requires typing of any sort such as logging in to manage email accounts, Task Manager, Add or Remove Programs, etc. It all behaves the same way. I have tried many different options to include restarts, restarting the SearchBar, restarting Explorer, Uninstalling and Reinstalling my Keyboard and Mouse, changed the repeating character speed, etc. This doesn't happen in any other program which is evident in this question submission. I should add it also doesn't happen in MS Office software, or even when I go to Control Panel and test the repeating character text box. It's very odd that it specifically is happening to only certain features of which I use often. I'm not sure what else to try. I'd rather not have to clean wipe/clean install my OS to fix this issue.

2024-01-20T03:19:42+00:00 Same issue, started today.
An additional problem, I'm running 21H2 but Windows isn't detecting any updates. So I can't even install the update to attempt that fix. And of course we haven't heard anything from anyone is 3 days....
I suppose Windows 10 was good so Microsoft stand operating procedure applies...discontinue support for decent OS and release garbage OS so people will be itching to move to the next one...looking at you ME, Vista, 8...
