Q:

I did a few searches and a couple of people have had this issue but not found a post with any way to fix it.

There was 1 suggestion to bring up the escape menu but unfortunately after trying this it still “breaks” my keyboard until I relog.

I have a Logitech G510, on a regular basis when i alt tab to view forums or do something else and switch back to Guild Wars 2 my key board no longer works properly. Most of the keys are disabled only the windows short cuts work. However when i click the chat screen i can type and the letters are working again but enter doesn’t work. I have to close the game and reload it to get the keyboard working again.

This doesn’t happen everytime but id say its about a 30% drop rate :-)

Anyone else had and solved this issue? Its annoying being scared of alt tabing lol

Try running the game in Windowed Fullscreen mode. That works better when alt-tabbing a lot.

Nope just tried and even in windowed full screen ALT Tab still stops my keyboard functioning, Never seen anything like it in any game or program i’ve used.

updated your setpoint software? I alt-tab a lot with windowed fullscreen mode. I use a Logitech Performance MX mouse.

It did need updating but still no luck with ALT/Tabbing, however i just noticed the issue doesn’t affect me when using the windows key/task bar to switch between web/game.

Hmm alt tab will be a hard habit to break……
