Windows 10: Laptop keyboard stopped working

Yesterday, my Lenovo laptop updated automatically to Windows 11 and since then, my laptop keyboard isn't responding. A secondary USB keyboard works just fine but the laptop one won't no matter what. I've tried fixing the issue but nothing worked I went by online guides, mostly this one: Solved: Keyboard not working in Windows 11 2023 fix kapilarya.com . Nothing solved the issue and I even went back to Windows 10 and tried all the options again with no result. I also don't see the If anyone is able to help me, I'd really appreciate it.

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.

 

Laptop Keyboard Stops Working

Hi everybody,

IT'S URGENT.

My laptop keyboard stopped working. Some keys are not working at all. This is an issue (a very BIG issue). Could anybody help me fix it??

I have also googled how to fix this issue, tried doing everything, all the steps they said. But it is not working at all.

The laptop keyboard does not work. But when I connect an external keyboard only it works. The external keyboard is working perfectly, but the laptop keyboard is not working.

VERY FEW KEYS ARE WORKING.

Please help me out. This is very important. It is also difficult for me to travel with these.

There are a lot of problems. And again, I am typing this question with the USB keyboard only.

I request, please help me out to fix this issue. I don't want to use the external keyboard every time. IT is a difficulty, please help me.

Hi Zunair,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

1. What update are you referring to?

I suggest you to pug in external keyboard and check if it works.

Let’s troubleshoot the issue by referring to these methods and check the issue status:

Method 1:

Refer to the link to run the troubleshooter:

Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Hardware and Devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Devices.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Hardware and Devices.
  

Method 2:

Let’s try updating the driver for the mouse and keyboard and verify the results. Follow the steps:

a) Press Windows and X key together and select Device Manager.

b) Locate the Key board device icon. Right click on the driver icon.

c) Select Update driver software.

c) Select "browse my computer for a driver software".

d) Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.

e) Select the driver option according your device model and installed.

f) If this does not work, follow the steps from ‘a’ to ‘c’ and select “Search automatically for the updated driver”.

g) Choose the same steps to update the driver for keyboard as well.

Check if it resolves the issue. If not, I would suggest you to download and install the latest available drivers for the keyboard from manufacturer website of the laptop. If the issue still persists, install the driver in Windows Compatibility mode and check
if that helps.

Method 3: Compatibility mode

Follow the steps below on how to install driver in compatibility mode:

1. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

2. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

5. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to

help.


Thanks.
