Keyboard input lag/delay every 5 seconds after new Windows 10 install.

[Brakkus]

As the title says, typing or any form of keyboard inputs work fine for about 5 seconds. After that it lags for about a second, then catches up afterwords. Was wondering if there was any fix to this and sorry if this has been posted before!

Might be a driver-related problem. Check for updated drivers from the manufacturer. May also want to try using different USB ports. Those are the steps recommended by Microsoft's support staff, though it was for a different version of Windows.

I'm also having this problem. Brand new lenovo, upgraded to windows 10 getting intermittent no response and lag on my keyboard (not external). Can anyone explain to me steps to solve this annoying problem please? Thank you

Well, I was having the same problem as you with a lenovo recently upgraded to Windows 10, so I tried to search at task manager if something weird was happening. I figured that each time I got the keyboard lagged the Microsoft Windows Error Reporting process (WerFault.exe) appeared for a second between the processes that were running on my computer.

So I just decided to disable that service and stopped it. Then I needed to restart my laptop and till now (around 15 minutes) I am not having the problem anymore. Here how to disable the service (just use the third option):

At least this apparently is working for me. Good luck!

Too much current going thru a USB hub can shut down the hub, then it resets and turns back on. Over and over.
Any Apple devices being charged on your USB ports?

I went to the link you provided and tried to do option 3] and my screen does not look like the one on the example. I am on windows 10 and here is what mine looks like.

Any advice? Thanks
