Windows 10: How can I sign into my One-Drive using ONLY THE KEYBOARD?

I keep getting the message that my OneDrive is not signed on; but I am totally blind and cannot find a way to sign in using ONLY the KEYBOARD - ABSOLUTELY NO MOUSE!

:)

 

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)

 

Keyboard issues in Sign in page- Can't Sign in to the system

Hi Dolin,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.



Please share the details.

• 
  What do you mean by ‘compromised the passcode’?
  
• 
  What is the make and model of your computer?
  
• 
  Have you checked with a different keyboard? What is the status?
  

As a work around, I suggest you to unplug and reconnect the keyboard from the system and check if it resolves the issue.



If the issue persists, I suggest you to use On Screen Keyboard and check if you are able to type the password correctly.

If you can sign in using On Screen Keyboard, I suggest you to download and install the latest chipset drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check if it resolve the issue.



Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

Problem: One Drive causing keyboard input lag.

Hello MattEmery1,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To check with the query, I would suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps and see if it works.

Method 1: Check with the keyboard layout.

It seems like an issue with the keyboard layout. I would request you to change the keyboard layout to English US and you will be able to use all the keys normally. For more information, you may refer the article

Add and switch input and display language preferences in Windows 10.

Method 2: Uninstall One Drive.

Delete the One Drive app and check if you are facing the same issue. If the issue persists, it must be with the keyboard else it’s with the One Drive. For more steps, refer
