  1. Keyboard Typing Random Letters


    Help! I don't know what happened but my keyboard will type seemingly random letters/number every time you push any key (even same key multiple times). I have gone into the computer's keyboard settings and switched languages from and back to the original English settings and nothing has changed. The odd thing is that it works on some programs and not others.


    It works on:

    Chrome, File Explorer, Internet Passwords, Steam, Spotify, iTunes


    Doesn't work on:

    Microsoft Settings, Cortana, Microsoft Store, OneNote, Sticky Notes, Calendar, Audible, Mail




    The trend is that it doesn't work on most Microsoft Applications but it does on the other Apps

    :)

  2. Keyboard not typing letters

    Hi Bob,

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I would suggest you to try the Onscreen keyboard and check if it helps.

    Please have a look at this article and check if it helps. Even though the article is for Windows 8.1, the option to enable the onscreen keyboard is the same.

    Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) to type

    After you are able to log in, I would suggest you to change the log in option or you may follow the steps provided by Neha Gupta to update the drivers and check if it helps.

    Thank you.

    Keyboard not typing letters

    My PC keyboard will only type numerals. No letter keys are working. Since my password is all letters I cannot sign in.

    I have been running Windows 10 since its release.
