  1. Keyboard help


    I’m stuck on the login screen of my windows 11 laptop. It only lets me type numbers and not letters. It recognizes the letters being pressed but it doesn’t type it down. My number lock is off and everything. I restarted it 5 whole times to no avail. Please help me.

    :)

  2. Keyboard problem in Windows 10

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

    If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Device Manager
      from the list.

    • Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.

    • Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.

    Hope the information is helpful.
