Since updating Windows 25H2 I am unable to type anything in my browsers, neither the URL or any input on the webpage. I have to use Word to type the information and copy it then Right-click and Paste as Plain Text into the fields

Dear Dan Caudill,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum.

That sounds incredibly frustrating and like a significant disruption to using your computer normally. Since copy-pasting works, it indicates the input fields themselves are functional, but direct keyboard input is being blocked or intercepted specifically for browser applications.

You could try some troubleshoots below:

1. Perform a clean boot:
   • Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
   • Go to the Services tab.
   • Check the box "Hide all Microsoft services".
   • Click "Disable all".
   • Go to the Startup tab and click "Open Task Manager".
   • In Task Manager's Startup tab, right-click and disable all startup items.
   • Restart your computer then try typing in your browsers again.
2. Create a new local user account:
   • Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.
   • Click "Add account" under "Other users".
   • Choose "I don't have this person's sign-in information" and then "Add a user without a Microsoft account."
   • Create a temporary local account.
   • Log out of your current account and log into the new TestUser account.
   • Open a browser and try typing. If it works here, your main user profile is corrupted. Migrating your files to a new profile is complex but might be the solution.

Or you could try typing in your browser using another keyboard. Please try these methods and let me know how it goes.
