I've identified the following:\n\n\\- When i've reinstalled Roblox and also cleared all folders connected to it, the games work without the issue i've raised (the Windows error/glitch sound when pressing any key on the keyboard and unable to chat) OUTSIDE of any private server, so when pressing the green play button.\n\n\\- As soon as i join in on any of the private servers, the issue remains AND when i then go back to the game OUTSIDE private server, by pressing the green play button, then the issue is now in this game as well, which it wasn't before.\n\n\\- I've tried on multiple games and it's the same issue.

If you exit and join any game, your chat or typing stops, but you can still move and everything. \n\n\nI fixed mine using backslash (\\\\) or the shortcut for controller/gamepad mode. You toggle it and disable, and the bug (should) will be fixed.",
