Remedial Action for Keylogger Issue with HP devices
HP laptops released in 2015 and 2016 with Conexant audio have buggy drivers. The driver code has debugging mode enabled, and it logs all your keystrokes into a file or a debug log. HP claims that it has no access to the logged data and the driver does not appear to be malicious in nature. However, since it’s always active and doing something that it was not intended to do, it tends to hog up system resources after a while. Since it’s already 2022, there is a good chance that subsequent updates have already fixed this issue. However, if you have never updated your device, or you are using a backup device from your storage, it is well worth checking for.

Stop the Keylogger
You should be able to fix this issue easily by applying the latest Windows updates.
