  1. Keyboard painfully broken


    Every few hours my keyboard will suddenly shut down from responding to correctly, my CapsLk will lock and typing any character will either result in no reaction or the keyboard typing "b" repeatedly or text similar to "n3/ b/".

    Even restarting my Laptop will not fix it, nor updating my keyboard in device manager, or updating all of my computer Drivers, not even factory resetting

    Heeeelp

  2. Keyboard problem in Windows 10

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

    If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Device Manager
      from the list.

    • Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.

    • Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.

    Hope the information is helpful.
