Windows 10: My keyboard works fine for about half an hour when after I boot it up, and then goes...

When it does go haywire, it makes a short boop sound and doesn't let me type anything until I mash all of the keys and only lets me type these letters: éáúóé and it's getting to the point where I don't use it anymore, and I have tried checking for a virus : nothing. Tried looking at keyboard shortcut's : nothing. I have had trouble writing this as it is getting more and more frequent. Pleasé reply soon! I need help! I'm on a Thinkpad Lenovo laptop by the way It doesn't let me put screenshots on with the booping óóáíéú

Keyboard not working during boot

Hi all,

I have windows 7 installed on a ssd, and the boot time is quick! however Im wondering if its too quick, as the lights on the keyboard dont come on until im into windows, so I cant access the bios, I bought a cheap keyboard to make sure my ms sidewinder x4 wasnt broke.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I request you to use the On Screen Keyboard and check if that helps to login.

After you login, I request you to update the driver.

Uninstall and Reinstall the Keyboard Drivers.

Step 1: Uninstall the Keyboard
Drivers

• 
  Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
  
• 
  Search for the Keyboard
  from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers
  from the computer.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
  

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

Step 2: Go to the Computer
manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the
Keyboard and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

If you still have the issue, install the drivers in compatibility mode.

Download the drivers from manufacture's website for Windows 10, if there no drivers available for Windows 10, download the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website and
try installing it in compatibility mode.
Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.

Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
  ‘properties’.
• Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
• Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
