No keyboard input #4448

You may experience an issue with Windows Terminal where keyboard input does not work. By and large, we've determined that this is caused by the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Service" being disabled.

If you're hitting this issue, make sure that the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Service" is not disabled. Certain "de-bloating" software (and apparently MSI Afterburner) likes to disable it or suppress it in the name of making your machine less understandable and "faster".

If you're experiencing an input issue that is not helped by exiting MSI Afterburner or re-enabling the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Service", please file a new issue.

Original issue content Latest version of Windows Terminal.

Tried clean installing multiple times, keyboard input works on everything else (as I am typing with it here ...) yes that includes powershell.exe and cmd.exe.

What gives?
