    Keyboard input causing App freeze


    I am having this weird problem.
    When i try to use keyboard, whatever is open in front of me hangs. Be it the file explorer, start menu, office etc... And Description says " A problem caused this program to stop interacting with windows".
    This problem is random and occurs few times every day. When i restart the system, it becomes ok for a while but then again the same.
    No recent change in drivers or windows copy. Using the exact same copy since 3 years and no problem. Have reinstalled 3 times and still end up with same problem.
    Problem doesn't go away even after fully updating the windows.

    I have tried running sfc /scannow but it didn't find anything. Though system ran fine all day after running this command, but next day the same.
    Tried uninstalling Keyboard/USB root hub drivers and restart but no result again.

    And yeah, on windows 8.1 everything runs fine and stable. Problem is only in Windows 7.

    A shot for example

    As long as i don't use keyboard, everything works nice and stable.
    A quick googling shows this ApphangB1 issue is faced by many people. I wonder why i am facing it all of a sudden after so many years of smooth sailing with 7.

    A full report from hang when tried to type something in start menu.

    Description:

    No suggestions??

    Ok, helping myself.... :)

    Googling the issue suggested that this is mainly due to compromised system files. Now i could understand that but why happening on fresh installation?
    Only cause could be problem in storage disk. My SSD endured quite a bit of abuse last month and perhaps trim couldn't keep up with it. So i went ahead and secure erased the whole drive, bringing it back to box packed condition.
    Used Parted Magic for this purpose.

    Time for a fresh reinstall...
    Hope installation remains intact now.

    Still same.
    System worked fine for a day and next day same hang on keyboard input.

    I guess i'll just stick to 8.1 then.

    SSD health seems good.
