My computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro, sometimes goes into an "extremely slow keyboard" mode. There is a long delay between pressing a key and the character arriving in the application, and there is a limit of one character every 1 or 2 seconds to the rate at which characters arrive in the application. This means that a long queue of characters that I have typed but which have not yet appeared in an application can build up. If I move the cursor to somewhere else on the screen, including into a different application, that is where any characters still in the queue will eventually appear. As you can imagine, this makes the computer completely impssible to use. I have not yet discovered a good way of recovering from this situation. Strangely other things (like moving the cursor and selecting words) don't seem to have slowed down significantly. Can someone explain what is happening in this situation? Can anyone sugggest a cure, or a work around? At first sight this must be an operating system problem, and gives the impression of an operating system designed by people who don't know what they are doing...
