[SOLVED] Keystrokes become duplicated every few hours (press X key result 2 x keys i.e. XX)

[Jacks46]

no matter which key I press all of a sudden I can't input a single character when typing, and it's not a timing issue RE holding the key down for too long.
To fix it untill the next time it re-occurs I had to go into Device Manger - Keyboard and delete the duplicated HID entry under the Keyboard heading.
This sorts it out for an hour or so until it starts happening again.

Does anyone have a suggestion to try and avoid this ongoing re-occurrence ?
After a few days it starts to become a little annoying

What kind of keyboard is it? Mechanical or Membrane?

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately my PC is telling me I don't have permission to access the indexing area. No idea why.

Do I have to access it as an administrator even though it my PC and I've got admin privileges ?

1st thing to try is your keyboard settings, open up control panel>keyboard properties
try reducing the repeat delay and or repeat rate speeds to see if that eliminates the issue.

tried that and it wasn't the cause.
seems like the driver (HID service) in Device Mgr becomes duplicated causing 2 keystrokes for every single press.

I had a great time trying to login ... it was impossible even the delete key was duplicating.

And even stranger is that it only happens using Chrome it's fine with IE

and the operating system is also an issue when it occurs e.g. Explorer

Try enabling/disabling, opposite of what you have, hardware acceleration in settings in Chrome.
