Hi pstranahan, - Do you use a laptop or a desktop computer? If you are using a laptop, try disabling the touchpad feature and check if you can type without any issues. Method 1: For all the other issues, place your computer in Clean boot state to know the application causing this issue. Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. If yes, you may have to contact the program manufacturer for any updates or uninstall and re-install the program. Here’s the article you may refer to for steps with reference to the same.
