When I let go of the W key, I continue to move and can control my motion with my keys. The longer I have been holding W for, the longer I move. This has been the case since I reinstalled the launcher about a month ago.

I ran a keyboard test online. Pressing and holding W results in a continuous stream of W’s; when I let go, the input stops, as expected.

have you verified you might not have a sticky key?
the correlation between holding for long time and than continuing the walk for longer seams particularly odd and strikes me as maybe your key just being sticky?
Search for “keyboard test online” in google and look for one that shows you if they key is pressed rather than released.
Hold the key down and verifiy that on those sort of tests the key does infact release the moment you do on your keyboard.
