    1

    Open Command Prompt, then paste in this command and press Enter:

    msdt.exe -id KeyboardDiagnostic

    Run that Keyboard Troubleshooter to see if that can solve the problem.

    2

    If that does not resolve this for you

    Open Device Manager

    Expand the Keyboards section

    Right click your keyboard and choose 'Uninstall'

    Then restart your PC

    3

    If the problem is still not resolved:

    Bring up the on-screen keyboard, is the same problem occurring on that keyboard?

    Connect another external keyboard to your system, is the same problem occurring on that keyboard?

    This usually matches a keyboard input setting issue in Windows, especially Filter Keys or other accessibility keyboard features that can delay key response and make movement continue after the key is released.

    Try this first:

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Go to Accessibility > Keyboard.
    3. Turn Filter Keys Off.
    4. Also make sure Sticky Keys and Toggle Keys are Off.
    5. Restart the PC and test the game again.

    If the problem only happens with the built-in keyboard, test with either:

    • the On-Screen Keyboard, or
    • a different USB or Bluetooth keyboard

    If the other keyboard works normally, that points to a hardware issue with the original keyboard rather than Windows or the game.

    If the issue happens mainly in full-screen games, accessibility shortcut keys can also interrupt gameplay, so keeping those keyboard accessibility shortcuts disabled can help avoid accidental input problems.
