Honestly, I kind of intended it to probably be the last desktop I build. My last build was started in 2013 and eventually wound up being a 4770k and a gtx 1080 which I was able to make work until this year (old hardware was tired and started acting up). Given how much parts are starting to...

Done!

I have personal data and files that I like to keep persistantly, but it's all on other drives. I use an OS drive that typically just has the OS and programs installed on it so I can just re-install Windows without losing anything I really want to keep (libraries and such are on other drives as...

It's probably an ongoing issue, depending on who you ask. First initial of my first name is T and the last three letters of my last name are wax so it's essentially an interpolation of my email address.

Fair enough. I'll look into it. Thank you for the recommendation!

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll probably look into that once I do a re-install. In the past I've never really been too bothered by just doing a re-install whenever I've had a problem, but I'm using a lot more programs / games these days (used to be all I needed was Windows and WoW).

Aha! And there you would be wrong! No backups for me. It's my biggest character flaw, I hope you don't hold it against me. I have not tried a clean install. I'm saving that as the last resort and honestly fully expect it will resolve the issue.

Yeah I'm definitely not thinking this is a widespread problem. There really aren't a whole lot of people that I've found online describing something similar to this issue. I've found two other people, one whose issue was with the letter "T" and was remedied when they uninstalled the Twitter...

Sadly I am monolingual. I haven't tried booting Windows from a USB, but I'm inclined to think it would probably be similar to what I've found when I created the Windows 11 virtual machine (i.e., the problem is present in the host / old installation but is remedied by re-installing Windows /...

Done. No change in behavior.

Tried both just now. No change in behavior.

Yeah, I didn't really think Winaero Tweaker had much to do with it. Just wanted to make sure I answered all of the questions you posed.

I did! New user account had the problem as well.

I agree that it is probably some 3rd party software creating the issue, especially given the fact that I didn't see the issue on the virtual machine. That also suggests to me that it's not an issue with the keyboard. I did have Winaero Tweaker installed at one point to see what kind of...

I tried that, too. It didn't fix the issue. However, after trying the In-Place Upgrade I did use the same ISO to create a virtual machine and the virtual machine did not exhibit this issue (i.e., I can execute searches that begin with the letter "m" with no problems).
