https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4448 suggests that disabling "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" could cause this.

@KalleOlaviNiemitalo Thanks for the suggestion, but that service is already set to Manual and has the recommended default registry values from that post. I've not ever messed with that.

Thanks a lot !
That was the tip. Everything is ok now.

@lucasyvas If you explicitly start that service, does keyboard input start working?

After, enable the Ink Workspace and the Tablet Input Service again, the Terminal works as it should. It's strange to understand, why this 2 services should be enabled on a pure Desktop machine.
Because i was looking for un-needed resource eater on my DAW, I did this "cleanup task" to disable some services, and the receipt followed immediately: "punishment after self-experiment".

@DHowett Nope... is it possible this is permission related? I may have recently altered some innocuous looking Windows privacy settings, but that's all I can think off.

OK weird it now works. Everything looks the same but I did it once more and tossed in a reboot for good measure. Maybe at that to the list of recommended steps after flipping all the correct switches :)

Edit: NO... stopped working again. When bringing the computer out of sleep, it stops working again. Thoughts? If we assume the service is the culprit...

I cannot actually stop or start the service now either. I can set it to disabled and back, but no ability to start/stop.

That's really quite strange, and I'm not sure where to go from here.

Somebody mentioned that they've got MSI Afterburner running, and exiting it made input start working again. That doesn't seem like a completely reasonable thing to do, but ... you know. Software is rarely reasonable!

I'll take a look at what else is running and report back. I'd like to avoid turning this into a "tech support" issue for everyone's sake, but just trying to get through the weeds.

I believe this is caused by running Rivatuner Statistics Server in my case, which is a utility that caps framerate to smooth frame times.
