      @g.jacobse Is there a way to do this, when I cannot log into Windows?

        Sadly, not that I know of. You have to get into the device manager in order to uninstall the USB devices.

        As @Dashrender mentioned, you may wish to check to see if a virus or rootkit.

          Since the onscreen keyboard has the same problem, it would be really odd if the USB controller was to blame.

              Download a liveCD of something (anything really) and test and see if that fixes the issue.

              If the On-Screen keyboard is having the same issue... then something very strange is going on. Check and see if there is a virus or rootkit.

                @coliver If there's a Virus or a similar issue, I'm going to need to re-install anyways, so that's what I'm going to do I guess.

                  Probably a driver issue. Then again, the on-screen keyboard too? Very possibly malware, but what have you been downloading...

                    This is actually me now. He went down after dinner and now the thing is working. I would guess malware.

                      If he boots into safe mode, does it still act screwy?

                            I was going to suggest testing via RDP but it's sorted.

                              So no Malware or anything, but my PC is being EXTREMELY slow, for no discernable reason.

                                What are the internal temps like?
                                What type of drive is your OS sitting on?

                                Edit: I'm curious 😄

                                  Possibly a failing drive or memory module? Try doing a memtest on it to see if that is the case... although that wouldn't account for the odd keyboard issue.

                                    I would run a repair on Windows. Sounds like you've got some corruption on your OS.
