  1. Left Control Key Stopped Working After Windows Update


    Hi - I am facing an issue for the past few days after updating Windows 10auto-update. Left Control key in Notebook keypad stopped working after the update and I have tried many steps suggested in various forums. None has worked so far, so hoping for some help here. Below are the steps I have already tried:



    1. Update Keyboard Driver

    2. Uninstall keyboard driver

    3. Complete any pending Windows update

    4. Make English US the default language & remove others.


    All these were suggested in various forums which have worked for others but none of these have solved the issue for me.

    :)

    random keyboard keys stop working?

    i went out today and everything was fine, i come home and three random keys stopped working, maybe more i havent noticed yet. the three key on the left side of the keyboard not working, the left shift stopped working, and the enter key stopped working, but the one on the numpad works fine. no one was home to use it, nothing spilled on it, i tried it on another computer and same deal. im gonna go buy a new one tomorrow but it makes me sad cause i loved this keyboard lol, microsoft ergonomic 4000. ill probably buy the same exact one if its in stock tomorrow, this one lasted or 4 years about. im just confused why three random keys spread out stopped working at the same time...seems very weird
