    Keyboard not working only when in Settings


    I’m trying to change my network security key but cannot type anything in when asked for the new security key. Also, cannot type any ‘find a setting’ queries when in Windows Setting. All ather time the keyboard works correctly. It just doesn’t work at all in Settings. Note, I’ve tried several even a abluetooth one and the OSK to no avail. Running Windows 10 Home edition.

    thanks.

    :)

  3. Touch Keyboard Settings missing

    Hi Graham,

    • Have you installed all the pending Windows updates? If not I suggest you to check.

    Also I suggest you to check whether the devices are governed or configured through group policy as you mentioned multiple devices used in a domain environment such as hospitals.

    I suggest you to check whether the Onscreen Keyboard is working or not. Refer to the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + U and select the On-Screen Keyboard from the Ease of Access
      list. Or click on Ease of Access at bottom right and select
      On-Screen Keyboard from the list.
    • Then use you cursor to type the password with On-Screen Keyboard.
    • Before clicking the login, press the eye symbol (I.e. Reveal Password) option in the password field, to see the password is correct.


    Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.

  4. Keyboard not working only when in Settings

    Built in keyboard not working

    I recently purchased an ASUS ROG GL553VD Notebook Computer and a few weeks ago the keyboard stopped working. After a few restarts it worked again, but today the problem came back, and was not fixed by any amount of restarting. Several people on past posts said to reinstall they Keyboard driver, but there was no Keyboard section in the Device Manager. I am currently resetting the laptop to factory settings to see if that fixes the issue. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
