Windows Defender Application Guard (WDAG) for legacy Edge not accepting keyboard input anywhere.
My WDAG for legacy Edge sometimes do not accept keyboard input anywhere. I click on address bar, the cursor starts to blink there and when I type nothing happens. The same happens to the search box of the default page (in my case, MSN).
To make matters worse, I may have WDAG running fine for a moment and, just after a reboot, it comes back to this strange behaviour and no keyboard input again. Since I have made absolutely no change on setting on my own, I really can not understand what is going on.
At first I thought there was a hidden interaction with Controlled Folder Access (CFA) enabled but I do not think anymore that this is the reason. Nevertheless, I fix the problem by turning off CFA and rebooting. As soon as I confirm that WDAG is accepting keyboard input I re-enable CFA. Reboot and it is just fine. I leave the computer on for several hours and no problem, Then, a new reboot and voilà, the problem is back again.
Some hints and info:
* Windows 10, 1909 Pro - not a Windows Insider release.
* Windows Sandbox is fine, but I can not type anything in the search box - in this case it seems to be disabled because the cursor does not appear there. Nonetheless, the WDAG problem aforementioned already exists long before installing the Sandbox.
* CFA is turned on and there is no CFA-related event (according to Microsoft Docs) registered in either CFA history or Windows Event Viewer.
* Languages/Keyboard set:
en-UK/US international
en-UK/Brazilian Portuguese ABNT-2
pt-BR/US-international
* Windows Display Language: en-UK
* Country Region: en-UK
* Reliability Monitor shows only usual software update. No crash.
* DISM/SFC: fine! No problem here.
* I am the administrator of the machine.
* Manufacturer drivers up to date.
This computer has been just reset from OEM Windows 10 1709 and upgraded straight to 1909. WDAG was installed just after that so I could say that there is no old programme causing trouble.

Hi HotCakeX,
I was trying to avoid the new Edge as long as I could. It is too much new. But, let's try it! It seems I am the sole person in the world with this weird problem
.
Backup in progress. I will come back as soon as I have installed and tested WDAG+Chromium-based Edge. As usual, this may take a moment...
See ya!
- Hi,
i hope it's not too late but preferably install an insider channel so you will be able to run it side by side with your current Edge
