Windows 10: Explicit keyboard problem

Hello everyone, i'm having some issues on my laptop and i hope you could provide me with some solutions. So the problem is, not more than a month ago, 4 keys on my keyboard started to malfunction, which are: "'apostrophe/4", R, F, and V. PS. I am using On Screen keyboard to type those letters Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't, unlike other keys that are working properly, I've found three components in my device manager that have error code 28 meaning there isn't a compatible driver for these components, speaking of which, they're : 1. PCI Device 2. PCI Simple Communications C

Keyboard problem in Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.
  

Hope the information is helpful.

 

Keyboard letters problem

Here are the first two steps you need to take:

• Try a different keyboard (or an external USB keyboard in case of a laptop)
• See if the problem persists with the on-screen keyboard (osk.exe)

 

Keyboard Layout

"Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

(The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)
