During normal speed typing aat, my keyboard unintentionally repeat letters as I type. How can I make adjustments to avoid this. Sommetimes, he doesn't know the letters as well.

Select start. Control Panel, keyboard, speed.

Under character repeat, move the repeat delay slider to the left to increase the amount of time that you must press and hold before the keyboard character repeats. Move the slider to the right to decrease the amount of time before repeating characters.

Do not forget to click on apply when you have made your change. You may need to restart your computer to apply the new configuration.

    If I type any faster than the pace of 1 finger of each hand, and then I can abandon typing altogether.
    If anyone else has had a similar problem and if so is there a solution?

    As far as I know that this has been fixed by the updated BIOS

    See the European driver of Toshiba page and download the latest BIOS for your laptop model.

    Hello @upsetuser ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your keyboard repeats letters when typing.

    Make sure that the sticky keys is not enabled. To check if it is enabled press SHIFT 5 times repeatedly and you should hear a beep or receive a pop up on the activation or deactivation of the sticky keys.

    If StickyKeys is not enabled, perform a hard reset on the phone. Turn it off, remove the AC adapter and remove the battery. Press and hold the button for 30 seconds and reinsert the AC adapter and the battery. Turn on the laptop and test.

    The language of the keyboard reset may also help:

    1. click on start.
    2. click on Control Panel.
    3. click on clock, language and region.
    4. click on the region and language.
    5. click on the keyboards and languages tab.
    6. click on change keyboards...
    7. on the general tab, make sure that English (United States) - U.S. is selected in the default input language field.
    8. click on any other keyboards in the list of installed services.
    9. click on remove.
    10. Repeat for all other non-English (United States) keyboards.

    Finally, reconnect the keyboard cable. There is no guide service available for your laptop so it will require a careful disassembly of the laptop to disconnect the keyboard connections and reconnect them.

    If none of this works, you may need to try a restore system before the issue started. To do this tap F11, while the laptop turns on to access the HP Recovery Manager. Select the option system restore and choose a date before the problem started. After restoring to test the keyboard. A recovery of the system (reinstalling Windows) should be the last resort before you send the laptop for service.

    If you decide the laptop needs to be repaired you can contact HP telephone support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    Hope this helps!

  • Keyboard not repeat when key held down.

    How can I get my wireless keyboard to repeat the letters when the hold key for example 1000000000000000000000.

    Seems to be a common fault from what I've read.

    Best regards, John

    Hi John,.

    not a fault, for Apple, it is a feature of easy support use of accented characters and your keyboard behavior depends on the application using your.

    More information is here:

    How to type accents and symbols emoji on your Mac - Apple Support

    In particular the section "repeat a character" describes what is boring to you, I think. But it's exactly like it is described there. For example in text editor you don't tap and hold the letter 'a' for abdelkrim repeated... but in the Terminal, it'll work.

    I agree that the copy of the key to the clibboard and using command-V to repeatingly insert is not a very satisfactory solution. More like a workaround solution.

  • wireless keyboards that do not answer or type incorrect characters

    Hello, I contacted Dell a couple of times and everything they have done has tried to update my drivers that did not work, or they had me use a wired keyboard that still had the problem.

    When typing my keyboard makes a break, don't type, types the same character repeatedly, takes up to 30 seconds between the characters to be able to type a different and at other times, there is zero problem.  This can happen several times a day.  It happens with IE, Firefox, type in word, try to access a Web site.  Its very frustrating.

    I use Windows 7 with a wireless keyboard.  If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it!

  • keyboard guard leaping letters

    My brand new Acer laptop jumps a lot a lot of letters when I type.

    What can BE DONE TO STOP all THE the SPELLING ERRORS to CAUSE OF KEYBOARD the QUESTIONS?

    Please forgive the directness of my answer.

    Eventually, an indication of the cause or the cause of the error factor can be seen by looking at what you have posted. Note the word "can". She appears as "can", and all the text after that initial 'c' is capitalized. Which indicates that, when the intention of keyboard lower case letters 'a', you press the Caps Lock key instead.

    Corrective measures could include: keyboard more convenient while you get used to the feel of the keyboard and spacing; Touch typing classes/exercises to improve your accuracy. return Acer and get a model with a full keyboard size or with a feeling different keyboard (touch typists are sometimes thrown out by key-falls in shallow water or changes to spacing).

    All that, despite everything, it is possible that the keyboard or the associated circuits or software defective or damaged. If methodical test shows intermittent or dead keys, do not return the unit under warranty.

  • keyboard ignores the letters when typing backspace does not always

    I get a little snap on my hard drive and strikes do not always respond as key does not work properly, as it is now

    Hi TerriIP,

    ·         What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

    ·         It happens with all applications?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    If you use a wireless keyboard, and then try to connect a wired keyboard and verification.

    You will need to reduce the character repeat rate in keyboard settings and check.

    a. open keyboard properties by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type keyboard, and then click keyboard.

    b. in the character repeat, move the rate to the left slider repeat make keyboard characters repeat more slowly, or move it to the right to make them repeat more quickly, and then click OK.

    You can also check if similar problem occurs when you use the keyboard of the screen:

    It happens every time I want to move a file to the trash or in my computer... I have "trusted sites" which I get this file type all the time...

    Can it be disabled because I know what I want

    I completed the change by following the instructions. There is no change, BUT I noticed that:

    1. If I download a PDF in Chrome, it goes to my "Downloads" folder If I try to move this to a file or my office, I still get the warning.

    2. If I have "save under" the PDF file to the desktop, it does NOT ask or the warning does not occur.

    Or, I stumbled upon a "Workaround": just save it to the desktop...

    I made the changes to EI and restarted everything. The alert is always there in IE, and Chrome...

    Also, I turned off Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) protection and and rebooted and its makes no difference.

    I'm confused. I use Chrome 95% of the time.
    IE always control parameter related to this issue, even if I use another browser.

    I returned my IE back to the protected State.

    MSE protection turned on.

    I returned to the 'normal '.

    I think I'll let this one issue at the moment, but thanks for your help.
