I've noticed problems with shortcuts like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V not working on Windows 11 24H2 since installing update KB5086672. It seems that when I try holding down the Left Ctrl key, it doesn't trigger repeated actions, and shortcuts sometimes fail altogether. After analyzing the update with the Win32 API, I've identified that the operating system is dropping input messages. Interestingly, hardware detection works fine using `GetAsyncKeyState`, but the Windows Message Queue appears to have issues dispatching these events to apps. I even created a simple C++ proof of concept tool, which I've shared on GitHub, demonstrating this problem. If anyone is experiencing error 0x800F0825 and can't uninstall the update, you might be affected too. I'm looking for experienced developers to help verify this potential input regression on Windows 11 Build 26100.8117 (with KB5086672).

Have you checked your smart app control settings? I’m curious if it might be related to security features affecting performance, but whatever you do, don’t disable it just to test.
Man, Windows 11 drives me nuts! I'll try to take a screen snippet, and it takes ages for the screen to respond. Plus, saving things over a network feels painfully slow. It's like everything is lagging for no reason!
Right? I thought I was the only one annoyed by the Snipping Tool delay. I also find that I have to launch it manually. The Print Screen button barely works!
I thought it was just my work laptop being slow after all the updates. It's way snappier on my gaming setup, but still frustrating!
Nah, I keep smart app control off on my test devices. Maybe I should turn it on to see if it changes anything?
