  1. My mouse and keyboard have stopped working and only work in the bios, any fixes for this?


    Its a PC and I recently swapped out my 6700xt for a 3060 ti because of an hardware issue but now i have a new software issue instead. On boot up, I will get the standard enter your password to log in screen but my mouse and keyboard do not work. I am just stuck in that screen and I can’t do anything. When I tried entering the bios for some reason the mouse and keyboard work there, it just doesn’t work normally. Here’s a list of stuff that I tried and it didn’t work- Removed cmos battery- Tried other usb ports at the back of my motherboard and also tried using different keyboards and mouses too

    :)

  2. Mouse/Keyboard work in BIOS, they do not work once computer boots

    I have been using computers for over 25 years now, and I have never run across a problem like this. Backstory: I built my current PC about a year ago. Everything worked perfectly until about 5 days ago. At that point, it needed to restart. I restarted it, and upon boot neither the mouse or keyboard would respond. I tried a different mouse and keyboard, they did not work either. I tried both of the mice and keyboards with another PC, and they worked fine. This absolutely rules out the problem being the inputs.Then, I noticed that the mouse and keyboard do work in BIOS. However, after exiting BIOS and booting, they stop responding altogether. I have gone into system recovery countless times and tried literally every recovery option listed, to no avail. Any suggestions to help would be GREATLY appreciated. For the past 5 days I have literally had a $3000 paperweight.

  3. Wired Keyboard and Mouse Stop Working - Windows 10

    Wired Keyboard and Mouse Stop Working - Windows 10
    I have an old Dell Studio that is running windows 10 ---

    Ir has Windows 10 and SSD installed - to me it does what it needs to do but this darn mouse and keyboard stuff stopping working with no rhyme or reason is making me very frustrated.

    Keyboard and Mouse are wired - NOT WIRELESS

    • I cannot easily unplug and plug in the mouse/keyboard to get it going again... they are still lit up but they are dead basically and I have to do a hard reset.
    • USB selective suspend is disabled.
    • I checked the drivers for the keyboard and mouse and they are updated.
    • I checked to see if PC has KB4074588 and it does not.

    I am not sure what else to do.... I can go days without the issue and then days where anytime I step away from the PC it stops working.

    I can say when it is working it just does not just stop ... only when I walk away and the machine is idle or the screen is locked.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Mouse and keyboard won't work after bios

    Hi,

    One possible reason that your mouse and keyboard is not working is due to an outdated or corrupted drivers. Since you've recently made an update, there might be drivers that are having compatibility issues
    that needs to be addressed.

    We suggest that you run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot.
    • Under Find and fix other problems, select
      Hardware and Devices > Run the troubleshooter.

    If the issue still persists,
    follow the troubleshooting steps provided in Mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows
    article.

    Update us with the results and let us know if you need further assistance.
