I'll include a screenshot on how to turn it off, took a bit for me to figure it out.

It started on about the 22nd of September. Yes it only happens when I play Gears of War 5. No I have not tried a dummy account.
So after further investigation, it seems like the Issue is with Razer Cortex. Not sure why before it helped by turning off the Gears 5 Chroma App, might be related and combination of Synapse, Cortex and Gears 5. Seems to always happen when I have Cortex running. Tried leaving Cortex running with Synapse off and issue still happened.

Hello,
Is there any update for this issue? I've encountered the same problem with Cortex and Gears - The game freezes on keyboard input and unfreezes when releasing the keyboard.
