Keyboard malfunction

Hi Ashish,

Keyboard malfunction can be caused by several reasons. One possible reason for this is software incompatibility. Let's find out what's really causing this.

First, we suggest that you run the hardware troubleshooter for drivers. This ensures that your device gets the latest driver updates through Windows updates. Here are the steps:

• Click the Start button, enter "Windows Update" in the search box, and then, in the list of results, select
  Windows Update.
• In the left pane, select Check for updates.
• On the Select the updates you want to install page, look for updates for your device, select the check box for the driver that you want to install, and then click
  OK. There might not be any available driver updates.
• On the Windows Update page, select Install updates. Windows Update will tell you if the updates were successfully installed.

Second, if a driver is found, we recommend that you download and install the driver yourself. To do that:

• Click the Start button, type "device manager" in the search box, and then select
  Device Manager.
• In the list of hardware categories, find the device that you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
• Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions.

Third, make sure that your language settings is English (United States) and your Country/region is in the United Sates. To check that:

• Press Windows key + I.
• Select Time & language, and click Region & language.
• Under Country or region, select United States.
• Under Languages, choose English (United States).

Once done, kindly restart your device and see if we're able to resolve the issue.
