Fred Kite: I've got to be off. I can't stay here arguing. I've got a lot to do. Report to the Executive, check up on the pickets.

I'd suspect a key logger is lurking. Run an antimalware on it, if you can using the pop-up keyboard.

Keyloggers don't stop your keyboard working. The whole point is to log your keystrokes while not alerting you that anything is amiss.

If it's a desktop pc power it down, unplug the keyboard socket and plug it back in again. (Blowing the dust off the socket is optional, as I don't believe this step is essential but some people like to do it for luck. :lol: )

If it's a laptop or something else where the keyboard and computer is all one unit then I dunno.
