Windows 10: Keyboard not working before Startup to get into BIOS

I have a Dell Smartcard Keyboard it has a issue since 5 years that it won't work before Windows starts meaning I can't enter BIOSwhich is a major issue if my PC get's into trouble. Before sometime I had an old keyboard so I used it to work into BIOS but now it's destroyed. I have tried CMOS resettingI have tried BIOS legacy setting via old keyboard I have tried changing USB portswhat's the fix for me then

Keep onscreen keyboard from displaying at startup

Hi Helene,

I suggest to try the steps below and check if it helps.

• Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete key on the Keyboard.
• Click on More details.
• Go to Startup Tab.
• Right click on Onscreen Keyboard And select
  disable.

Please get back to us with the updated status of the issue.

Thank you.

keyboard works in BIOS but not on desktop

Hello, Alex!

I'll be glad to assist you today. I don't want to assume anything, but is your mouse working? If it is, you can try to fix the problem in Device Manager. Just follow these steps using your mouse/touchpad:

• Right-click on the Start menu to bring up the Power User Menu, and click
  Control Panel.
• Click on the
  Hardware and Sound link.
• Click on
  Device Manager under the Devices and Printers group at the top of the screen.
  
• In the Device Manager window that pops up, expand
  Keyboards. There you should find your keyboard listed . Right click on your keyboard and select Update Driver Software... to check and see you have the latest driver for the keyboard to work.

If these steps don't fix your problem, a temporary fix would be to turn on the included On-Screen Keyboard. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click on
  Start, Settings, Ease of Access, then Keyboard
• Click to turn on the
  On Screen Keyboard.

Either of these two options should get you back to typing again in no time! If you need any other help, let me know!

Thanks,

Dustin
