Why are ALL the responses from MS support always guesses and not definitive solutions?! For once I would like to see a response that states the specific root cause of the problem and the solution. Who’s testing and what tests are MS running on Windows 10 before it goes out the door? There are far too many issues going out the door to believe ANY testing being done. The typing issues have to be known to MS so why don’t they determine and communicate the root cause with a working solution.

My belief is that the text field times out and looses focus, for lack of a better description, and therefore the mouse has to be clicked to refocus the text field. In the browser, their is too much automation guessing what the user is typing or wants to type disrupting the text entry. MS personnel have to be experiencing the same issues as the common user and thus should be able pinpoint the issue and provide an update.

I’m going back to Windows 7 and stay there for year or two until Windows 10 becomes a mature application.

Instead of finding your way towards the manufacturer’s website and looking up the driver-download page for your specific model of computer, let DriverFix scan your PC for outdated device drivers.

WIndows 10 Typing glitch

Roughly every 6 keystrokes, the next two keystrokes don’t work. Example: My tyng ens upooking ust lke thi.

Additionally, when typing into the address bar, I will only get 5-6 keystrokes before the cursor disappears. It seems like it is trying to suggest a web address for me, but only gets halfway and stops. It makes it virtually impossible type in even a small address.

This typing issue occurs anytime I start my laptop or close and reopen the screen. I am able to fix it by restarting, but it will come back the next time I use my computer. It has only occurred since switching to WIndows 10. The issues occur in both Edge and Chrome.

Anybody else having this issue? Any suggestions?
