    Keyboard not responding


    Hello, Since yesterday my keyboard gets bricked upon boot-up. When i go to device manager and remove the keyboard and driver it works upon restarting. But when i completely shut my PC down and boot it up again my keyboard is once again bricked. Any way i can stop this from happening. Download an older driver? if so how and where.

    :)
