Sometimes my Windows 10 is stuck in this state but the "ghost input" only happens in places like menu start, new native Windows settings UI or win+shift+s screenshot overlay. Does not happen in any other apps, on-screen-keyboard does not see it.

I suspected AHK, JoyToKey or sth but killing them does not help, disconnecting keyboards, restarting HID devices, nothing helps.

I couldn't pinpoint what is causing it but found out that restarting DWM fixes it (must be run in elevated cmd):

taskkill /f /im dwm.exe

Also here's one line which will just ask for elevation (can be used as a button in Stream Deck or so ^^):

powershell -Command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c taskkill /f /im dwm.exe' -Verb RunAs"
