asked on Cannot Enter Text in Firefox or Chrome, Only Edge
I cannot type a URL or type a search in FF or Chrome. I can in Edge which is what I am using now.
My AV is Kaspersky Total Defense, and I am beginning to think that is the culprit.

Sometimes something extraneous can cause this, like plugging in a USB stick.

Ramin,
No success with 1 through 4, haven't tried uninstalling Chrome or disabling Kaspespersky yet. Will do so and report back. FF is preferred browser as I need it for Ubiquiti Wireless.

No USB sticks active.

Did you shutdown your PC, Power on and retest the issue ?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (3-bar Menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Restarted, exited Kaspersky, ran Safe Mode in FF, restarted with add-ons disabled. Could type for brief time then not anymore?? Very puzzling, still can only enter text in Edge.
Try below key combination and check the results.
Hold Down Windows key, then press F9 or Hold Down Windows key, then press FN+F9
Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox ?

Nothing for: Hold Down Windows key, then press F9
Hold Down Windows key, then press FN+F9 opened File Explorer
New account same issue with FF
Uninstall FF and re-install no change.
I downloaded Media Creation Tool, may try it later.

Ramin,
I did not run "Upgrade this PC Now", I ran the Tweaking.com repair.
I can type entries now, but not quite right yet. So when I get a chance I will run that.
