If I start over, what do I lose?

I own the game on Uplay rather than Steam. I believe there's a few things in my inventory that came as bonuses with some DLC I bought. I'm getting tempted to restart the game so that I can go through the tutorials again.

Here's my problem. I haven't played the game in about a year or two. While I'm level 5 in the game, I am having SERIOUS problems managing the UI (using my controller), which I don't remember having difficulties with the last time I played. I used the Y button to assassinate a couple of enemy soldiers who are occupying whatever temple. Thing is, they're still moving around, and the game doesn't give me the option to carry them away like it has when I've killed other baddies. What am I doing wrong here? Why are they still alive?

Additionally there's something that keeps on happening where I get bounced OUT OF the game and an onscreen keyboard pops up. This has happened twice in a row to me and is VERY aggravating. I'm not sure if it's something just with this game, I've had it happen before in another game as well (probably AC Odyssey?).

Maybe I should just go through the tutorials in a new save and then return to my current save game? Would that mess up my current save game at all?

AC Origins already gives you 6 or 8 save games I believe (or it maybe even 10, I have to go in-game to check). You can just start a New Game on a new save, complete the tutorial and then return back to your original save to play from your progress point. New saves are completely independent of one another and do not affect the progress while criss crossing between them. That is why New Game+ is a new different save in AC Origins and Odyssey rather than carrying over on the same same file.

Also, the keyboard shouldn't be randomly popping on and off like that. Have you tried resetting your controls in the controls section? I've seen that if there are some overlapping controls in the game, the controls seems to respond differently and sometimes not at all.

Before anyone posts a link to disabling the onscreen keyboard in Windows 10's Ease of Access section, it looks like this is Steam's doing. This happens when I press down on the left joystick of my Logitech XBox 360 controller. There's something in the Steam settings that stops this from happening. In other words, not a fault of the game or Ubisoft's coding, It's because I'm running their game under Steam and Steam is treating my controller like it's a Steam Controller. I'm pretty sure that I can stop this by adding "-NoKeyboardUI" to the game's launch options.

See here if you're interested (I'm bringing this up because Google will ALWAYS assume that this is about the Win10 Ease of Access onscreen keyboard, it's NOT). It took me a LOT of digging in various search results before I found the actual cause of my problem (Win 10's onscreen keyboard IS disabled on my system). Here's a link explaining the problem, might help some of you who're running a non-Steam copy of Assassin's Creed with a controller from your Steam library via a user-created shortcut to a non-Steam game:
