Windows 10: Keyboard issues with Windows 10

Hello,

I have a generic Microsoft 200 keyboard and I'm running into two issues:

1) My keyboard goes into sleep mode every 5 seconds. I can tell because the Num Lock light goes off and comes back on when I hit any key.

2) If I long press a key, it seems to go into "sticky" mode and keeps pressing until I press it back again. This is especially troublesome when playing video games.

- I've checked power saving modes, all seems ok at default.
- I've checked and Sticky Keys is disabled as well as any user accessibility option.

Help? Thanks!

:)

 

Windows 10 upgrade makes my computer shut down randomly

I have the same issue. MY Windows 10 is a new OEM install. BECAUSE, last update fried my hardrive. So new SSD Drives, New OEM professional install and SINCE that install, nothing but random shutdowns. Professional diagnostic from a nationally known computer
center could not find anything. Thought it was a power cord issue. PLEASE UPDATE Windows 10. From the web searches I see Many Many people having this issue. SO, when it came time for my son to go off to college, we decided to buy him a MAC laptop.

 

Windows 10: Issues with deleting a particular system file and Administrator Problems.

Isn't this the same advice you gave someone else further up in the thread? I am the only user with "full privileges" on the files. Yes, I am the administrator. I've tried every suggestion in this thread, including the command (DOS) prompt as administrator
"net user administrator /active:yes". Also, why can't I delete a user that I created? All I can do is change his password.

 

Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port in the back of the computer and not the front ports.

Your keyboard should not require any drivers to work correctly, it's very likely not a Windows 10 problem and more likely a hardware problem.

 

I tried, and the same issue happens.

Funny enough, everything was working fine till the upgrade to Windows 10.

So yes, it's a Windows 10 issue.

 

What does your device manager say about your keyboard, does it have a triangle on its name?

 

No, the device manager registers everything as normal *Smile

 

Try right clicking it and uninstalling it, then reboot and let it install it again.

 

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried moving ports. It just acts like it's asleep until you press a key, and the majority of the time it doesn't register the first keystroke. Alt and Ctrl get "stuck" after being pressed for a period of time. Craziness.

 

Have you guys checked what chipset drivers are being used that impact upon your USB? Win10 won't have necessarily installed the correct drivers. Lots of times they either aren't correct or not all the necessary software components have been installed by Windows.
