    How come when I unplug my keyboard and plug it back in, it adds two other keyboards making...


    I was wondering why my keyboard was acting up so I went into device manager and saw there was three keyboards with the same name in it. When I found out which keyboard was mine, I deleted the other two keyboards. If I uninstall the wrong ones my keyboard stops working or starts doing commands. I just want to know why my keyboard does this and if there's any fix to this problem. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Logitech mouse and Keyboard issues

    Thank you as well. I have no owned a corded mouse in 15 years or since they had wireless mice. Can I do the steps backwards, meaning do the keyboard first rather than the mouse since I will need a working mouse to do all this?

  3. USB keyboard disconnects when holding any button down

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps:

    • The USB connection may be loose. Try unplugging the keyboard, and then plugging it back in.
    • Plug the keyboard into a different USB port.
    • If your keyboard is plugged into a USB hub or USB switch box, try removing it and plugging the keyboard into the computer.
    • Unplug other USB devices that are not in use.
    • Try the keyboard on another computer to verify it is working correctly

    Method 2: Also I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the usb keyboard drivers as below and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows+X and go to device manager.
    • Then expand keyboards and right click on the driver.
    • Then click on uninstall and restart the computer.
    • It will be reinstalled automatically and check if it helps.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    USB Keyboard is not connecting after unplugged and plugged-in

    Hi,

    I am using this PC (HP) for 2 years with same USB keyboard (Dell), suddenly yesterday the keyboard was not working, normally USB devices are "Plug & Play" it should connect if unplug and plugged-in but it didn't work so give a try to reboot the machine then
    keyboard connected again.

    but if i unplugged and plugged-in USB keyboard doesn't connect.

    * I have tried connecting this USB keyboard on another machine it does connected and also works with un-plug and plugged-in the USB keyboard.

    * Also tried new USB keyboard on my machine same problem occurs.

    * In windows safe mode the old USB keyboard is connected even un-plug and plugged-in.

    so i tried to install driver for that USB keyboard from dell website but not use. also uninstalled drivers from device manager, rebooted still the same.

    PC model : hp model no 20-c308in https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05599575

    Keyboard : DELL model no kb216t
