Keyboard keys keeps stopping while held.

Out of nowhere, my keyboard suddenly stops while I hold any keys. I've experienced it first in games, the walking animation keeps stuttering as if i've lifted my finger for a few seconds.

Luckily, I got a spare keyboard and tried it too (i thought it was a wiring problem from my first keyboard). However, the stuttering persists. I've tried to switch between USB ports and updated my USB keyboard driver for it but didn't help.

Can anyone help me with this? It's really annoying :(

Thank you.

If you've got another system to hand then it would be worth trying teh same keyboard on that device. If the issue does not persist then I can confirm that it will be an issue with your main machine. This will all likely hood be fixed by a simple OS wipe and re-install.

Sounds like a problem either in the game (try on another game if you have not already). If it persists then I expect a reload of the PC will be required. It should fix the issue and will save a lot of unsuccessful troubleshooting but will require you to backup all your files and set aside a couple hours in advance.
