This problem JUST started happening yesterday. My computer was working just fine before I left for work and when I came back, this problem started happening. My computer decides to randomly not register properly when I'm typing or right clicking. It's pretty much the same proble this person was having: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2379436/type-click.html
So I will walk you through what I did before and after it started happening. before I left for working I was just watching YouTube videos, right clicking was working just fine as well as typing. I then closed my laptop and it went to sleep. When I came back I opened my laptop, it woke up, and I tried to resume watching videos and this is when I noticed that it wasn't working properly. I tried right clicking to open a new video and it wouldn't work. I tried right licking everywhere and it wouldn't work. I shut down by holding the power button(because the start menu wouldn't stay up whenever I scrolled over the restart, shut down, etc options). I don't recall if it worked for a little bit or what, but either way it started happening again and then I realized I also wasn't able to type while all of this was happening. (side note - when I was able to type to someone I think right before or maybe even during this happening, the light for my caps was on, but I was typing in lower case and when I tapped caps lock the light went off but I was typing in caps.)
So seeing that I had this problem again I sty stem restored several times since it started happening cause that seemed to have fixed it for at least a little bit every time but then it would start happening again. I was somewhat convinced that it was due to a windows update up until right before I made this poste when it started happening again and I didn't even let the computer start to do the update.
Also, I forgot to mention this, the computer DOES register that I am typing because I will error sounds when typing into certain things while other options are brought up when typing in a program like Skype. (but it will not actually type anything into the actual text space as I said)
I will tell you what I have done and what I have seen people suggest to do while looking up a fix:
system restore (can't get an earlier restor past the computer already having the update installed) - worked for a bit I thought but problem still happens apparently
cmd > sfc > scannow - showed nothing wrong
ran scans - nothing showed up
I have seen suggested that involve a clean boot and updating drivers or bios which I have not done yet, mostly because it's working at this exact moment and I don't want to break it again right away. I have also seen people constantly suggest that it's the mouse and keyboard, or the batteries for them or a setting for them. it is not. I am not holding down a key, they work just fine when the problem isn't happening.
If you must know the computer I am using it is a hp pavilion dv6-7138us, but I'm pretty damn sure that that is not the issue. I honest have no idea what is and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. So please, if you have a solution for this so that I don't have to continue to pull my hair out or just have to deal with it on and off, please help me. Thank you.
PS - because the problem is not happening now I will update you as to if or when it happens again.
