Minecraft – Why can’t I stop running

minecraft-java-edition

This is driving me insane…I have been playing Minecraft for over a year on a different computer and now I'm playing it on my normal computer… anyway the issue is that when I hold down any key for too long on Minecraft doesn't register the key release.

For example if I hold w for ~2 seconds I'll keep going in that direction… same with spacebar etc…

I checked if the keys are getting stuck on my board and they are not….

Anyone have ideas? It's annoying as hell.

Check your keystroke repeat rate/repeat delay and turn it down if you have to. I used to run into the same thing back in the day when playing Unreal Tournament and it turned out that the keystroke repeat was kicking in and that was what was keeping me running in the same direction even though I would have different keys held down.

XP & Win7 both: Start > Control Panel > Keyboard
