Windows 10: Keyboard keys not working after update

After the latest windows update my keyboard has started acting up. Some keys aren’t working at all now, such as b, ctrl, h, n, 0 etc. I am typing this with the on screen accessibility keyboard. I have done everything I have been advised to through googling, updating drivers, checking with system file checker, uninstalling it and reinstalling, everything. But it’s only getting worse, and is obviously unusable in its current state. Is there any way to fix this? It’s clearly the update that has done it, as the keyboard occasionally works and lets me use those keys, but today nothing I do will work so it’s done for. I would restore to previous to the update but windows update is saying that it’s not supported anyone if I do so. If I do that, will I never be able to update again? Thanks

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

Keyboard keys not working

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

It must be difficult when things do not work as expected.

If you are not able to access keyboard, I suggest you to follow the steps below:

• Right Click on Start Menu and choose
  Control Panel.
• From Control panel, choose Ease
  of Access Centre and click on
  On Screen Keyboard.

If the keys are working fine on On Screen Keyboard,
I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard drivers and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device
Manager”.

2. In the list of devices, you should see the Keyboard drivers. (Expand if required).

3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan
for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
