As always, windows 10 has got issues that make no sense. About 2 weeks ago windows 10 stopped recognising most of my keyboard inputs. It will detect my logon password, keyboard shortcuts etc, but if I try to use the search function, or type in a windows application like stickynotes or file explorer then nothing happens. This doesn't affect third party programs like my browser fortunately. I did an update that weekend that caused win10 to start getting BSODs and at one point it wouldnt even recognise my password inputs, after rolling that back it's not so severe but still messed up. Some programs also take forever to open or just refuse to open. I tried to open a .png file about 30 minutes ago and it still hasn't done anything. This morning there were delays of about a minute before any program registered my inputs. I've tried using other usb ports too, makes no difference, and this problem randomly started where it wasn't an issue before.
As always, everything still works great on windows 7 (I'm dual booting). Everyone is always really condescending to people who still prefer 7, and I've been giving 10 the benefit of the doubt for months and its had nothing but problems and limitations with microsoft constantly adding to the issues with updates that also can't be trusted to not break your pc. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of this without doing a fresh install then I'll give it a go, but at the moment windows 7 is still looking like the better option even after getting used to some of the nicer features of 10.
PS if your only contribution to this post is going to be to mindlessly parrot that 7 is out of support, or that 7 is old, or that you wish me to conform to the win10 hivemind, don't bother. Constructive comments only please
