Fixing Keyboard Not Working on Windows 10 Keyboard Issues

Windows users after updating to the tenth version or updating the OS encountered a problem – the keyboard stopped working. Fortunately, there is a solution, below is a list of the most convenient solutions. You don’t have to use all of them, start at the top of the list and work your way up until the problem is resolved.

Instructions for solving keyboard problems

• After updating the OS installation, the USB port drivers may not work glitch.
• First, try moving the keyboard to a different USB port.
• Check the port in another way to make sure it works (connect a mouse, hard drive, USB flash drive to the port where the keyboard was).

The device is working – go to the next item. The device does not work – go to step 4.

• Check Bios. When loading the OS, press the F2, del, Esc key (depending on the BIOS version on the device). If everything works properly in BIOS, then the malfunction is definitely related to Windows.
• Adjust Windows settings. Windows has a “Key Filter” setting. It defines the delay between pressing a key and its appearance on the screen. Unfortunately, when this setting is enabled in Windows 10, many keyboard stops working.
• Open the start menu and type “filter keys”.
• Disable this option as shown in the screenshot.

Duplicate method. Go to Control Panel -> Accessibility -> Keyboard. Turn on key filtering by moving the slider to the desired side.

• Reinstall the keyboard drivers.
• Click start and write “device manager”.
• Expand the required line. RMB -> Update drivers -> Ok.

Installation failed? Proceed to the next item.

• Uninstall reinstall drivers. RMB -> Delete -> Ok.
• After deleting, go through steps 3-4 again.

Installing drivers using the utility.

• Download DriverEasy

  …

• If necessary, use the “on-screen keyboard” to enter data. It is located in the Accessibility menu (described above).
• Install and scan your PC, the utility will automatically find and download the necessary drivers. You don’t have to worry about making mistakes during the reinstallation process.

Disable Kaspersky Anti-Virus for a while. The problem was noticed only with this brand of antivirus (the reasons are the secure input function). It is required to update it to the latest version, disable it (the problem was fixed in the latest version).

• Disable Windows 10 Fast Startup.
• Reboot your PC.
• If the problem appears only after switching on, and disappears with a restart, go ahead. If this is not noticed, skip this point.
• In the “Start” menu we write – “power supply”.

An additional method for solving the problem. Press Win + R and enter “taskschd.msc”, go to “Task Scheduler Library” – “Microsoft” – “Windows” – “TextServicesFramework”. Enable the “MsCTFMonitor” task. Do it yourself. RMB -> execute.

• Go to device manager and delete your “keyboard”, then restart your PC. Add the device again if necessary, but this will happen automatically.
• Power off your PC. Unplug it from the outlet, wait 5 minutes, then hold down the power button and hold it for 5 seconds (for laptop users – remove the battery). Turn on your PC normally.
