To make sure you’ve disabled Filter Keys:
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and type filter out. Then click on Filter out repeated unintentional keystrokes.
- Make sure the Use Filter Keys toggle is Off.
- Now check on your keyboard and see if this keyboard slow response issue has been sorted. If yes, then great! If the problem persists, move on to Fix 3, below.

Sometimes this keyboard delay problem happens because of corruption and misconfigurations on your computer. If that’s the case, you’ll have to run DISM to check and fix the error.
1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and type cmd. Then right click on Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
2) Type the following command and press Enter:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Wait a while for the whole process to finish.
