    Internal keyboard stops working shortly after not being used


    My laptop’s on-board keyboard stops working a couple of seconds after not being in use. As long as I hold a button on the keyboard it continues to function normally.Temporary solutions I have found that allow me to resume using the keyboard are switching my keyboard language layout, reconnecting my USB mouse, reinstalling the keyboard driver, and restarting my computer. But again, if I’m not constantly typing it stops functioning. When switching language layouts to resolve the problem, the first key I pressed after it stops working in inputted.Before it would only do this occasionally, but now

    US International Keyboard for Windows 10

    Hello,

    There is a way to enable the US International Keyboard. You have to go to Settings > Time and Language > Region and Language. Under Languages, if you click English, there should be a button that says "options." If you click on that, it should show you a
    list of keyboards in English. If you click "Add a keyboard," a menu should appear with a list of keyboards. "United States - International" should be one of them.

    The keyboard works differently from before. If you are using the US International Keyboard for Windows 10, to get é, all you have to do is press ' + e, one after the other, and the character should appear. There is a list of how to get characters on this
    keyboard: How to use the United States-International keyboard layout in Windows 7, in Windows Vista, and in Windows XP - Microsoft Support,
    under "Creating International Characters." I know it says that Windows 10 is not listed as one of the softwares that run this keyboard, but it works on mine, and I have Windows 10.

    Hope this helps!

    US International Keyboard for Windows 10

    It defaults based on which keyboard is loaded first in your list. I had the same problem. I deleted the International keyboard which bumped my regular US keyboard to the top. Then added the International keyboard back in and now it defaults to the regular
    keyboard.

    Using International Keyboard

    That doesn't help. Microsoft says, the best driver is already selected. And selecting another language (like German) it selects the German keyboard layout and not the international one. There is obviously a problem with the international keyboard. The settings
    proclaim it uses the international one, but it doesn't and there is no icon to select between regular us and us-international like it used to be in Windows 8.1 and 7
