Weird keyboard issue related to zoom

So super weird issue that only has zoom as the common thread.

 

Issue: After being in a Zoom meeting for 20-30 minutes, the user's keyboard stops working. This is while in the zoom call and after leaving it. This is an ongoing issue and the user has updated zoom 3 times since the issue occurred and it's still present. User is completely up to date with all OS, app, and driver updates.

 

What I've tried:

• Restarting the computer

• Updating Windows 10

• Upgrading to Windows 11

• Updating all available drivers

• Updating Zoom

• Uninstalling/Reinstalling Zoom

• Removing and re-adding keyboard drivers

• Complete wipe of Windows and all personal information

• Assigning a brand new laptop

• Using an external keyboard

 

Whenever it does go away, regardless of what I do, it comes back once the user joins a Zoom meeting. No idea where to go next.

    That must've been a one-off.
    It's still happening!

    The problem occurs both with Zoom and with Microsoft Teams.  I am guessing there is some setting that deactivates the keyboard when the audio and video are opertating.
