Did you uninstall any HP drivers that might have been installed?
Wireless keyboard / mouse have "enhanced" drivers that may add
functions and may not be compatible with the Microsoft keyboard.

I didn't uninstall any HP drivers at the time.

The problem eventually fixed itself at one point, the tab key stopped
working. But then today I had to reboot my PC in safe mode to run some
antivirus programs, and the tab key started pressing itself in safe mode. I
rebooted a few more times, even unplugged the keyboard, no luck. I let the
PC sit for a while, eventually the tabbing stopped. But now, if I press a
letter key on the keyboard and hold the key down, it takes a long time for
the letters to type out. If I press the backspace key and hold it to delete
those letters, it takes a long time. Has anyone seen these problems before?

Have you tried a different key board?
