I'm using MacBook Air m1 . My Mac was working perfectly till the day I updated it to macOS 26.0 . The very next day keyboard issues started , All of sudden the keyboard stops working and own its own it starts working without doing anything. Sometimes it shifts to different languages. This update has created lots of issues for me.
