Keyboard Input not shown/accepted

This is a weird one. My command line will stop taking keyboard input for no reason I can see. The cursor moves when I type, but the characters don't display, and pressing Enter doesn't run the command. The only fix I've found is to restart AutoCAD.

 

The mouse still works, so I can save my work and shut down the app. The app hasn't frozen, it's just the keyboard input that's stopped.

Sure it didn't lock up?

Can you run commands by clicking on the Ribbon, Menu, or Toolbars?

 

Happens to me once a week due to a crappy graphics card.

Windows 10 OS?

 

Seem to be an issue at one time, usually update (or rollback) device drivers. But here is a list I found...
