Reinstall the Keyboard Driver

Device Manager → Keyboards → uninstall the standard keyboard → restart so Windows reinstalls it. Then install the latest keyboard driver from Lenovo Support for ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 to clear a corrupt driver.

Clean Under Sticky Keys

Power off and blow compressed air around any key that repeats. Debris holding a key partly down is read as a held key. Gently working the key can free the obstruction on the T16 Gen 3.

Test in BIOS

Restart and press F1 to enter BIOS, then type. If keys repeat in BIOS too, the keyboard hardware on the T16 Gen 3 is faulty and needs service. If not, the cause is software in Windows.

Why is the keyboard repeating keys on Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3?

Could a stuck key cause repeats on T16 Gen 3?
