HotCakeX There is a bug that if you open the clipboard (Win+V) and close it without pasting anything it will cause input to stop working. I know it sounds strange, but it's there. We are working on a fix for an upcoming build. Appreciate your patience.

HotCakeX Does it clear up after a reboot? Also is it possible that you may have opened the clipboard (Win+V), then closed it without pasting anything? If so, you maybe hitting one of the bugs listed in the Known Issues list.

    Omg wow, yes that was it! I couldn't find a pattern for it because I was doing multiple tasks at the same time.
    
    now that the cause of the problem is known, could you please post an official answer for it or put it in the correct collection in feedback hub app?
