Michael's Keyboard Broke?
-
I wonder if you have a virus. Try downloading a scanner that runs from a disk (Windows Defender Offline is what I mostly use) and try that.
-
Is this the USB keyboard?
I have run into a time or two where the USB host Controller will have a hiccup, even with a reboot it doesn't resolve.
You'll need to uninstall all the USB devices,.. USB controller , unplug all USB devices and then plug them back in.
At least,.. that is a best guess - as I've had this happen to Printers.
-
@g.jacobse Is there a way to do this, when I cannot log into Windows?
-
Sadly, not that I know of. You have to get into the device manager in order to uninstall the USB devices.
As @Dashrender mentioned, you may wish to check to see if a virus or rootkit.
-
Since the onscreen keyboard has the same problem, it would be really odd if the USB controller was to blame.
-
Smells like a prank to me
-
Download a liveCD of something (anything really) and test and see if that fixes the issue.
If the On-Screen keyboard is having the same issue... then something very strange is going on. Check and see if there is a virus or rootkit.
-
@coliver If there's a Virus or a similar issue, I'm going to need to re-install anyways, so that's what I'm going to do I guess.
-
Probably a driver issue. Then again, the on-screen keyboard too? Very possibly malware, but what have you been downloading...

This is actually me now. He went down after dinner and now the thing is working. I would guess malware.

If he boots into safe mode, does it still act screwy?
-
Everything is working fine now. He is running malwarebytes now

I was going to suggest testing via RDP but it's sorted.
-
So no Malware or anything, but my PC is being EXTREMELY slow, for no discernable reason.

What are the internal temps like?
What type of drive is your OS sitting on?Edit: I'm curious

Possibly a failing drive or memory module? Try doing a memtest on it to see if that is the case... although that wouldn't account for the odd keyboard issue.

I would run a repair on Windows. Sounds like you've got some corruption on your OS.
