Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

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.

• Then click on uninstall and restart the computer.
• It will be reinstalled automatically and check if it helps.
