Windows 10: Select Keyboard Type

Hi, I currently upgraded to windows 10 after that my windows explorer start scrolling automatically it had done this before and I thought it was a virus so I formatted my system and lost alot of data, now after an automatic upgrade for windows days back I turn on my system to see it saying I should "select my keyboard type" and advanced options to fix automatically or reformat: this option I will like to avoid at all means necessary, and the automatic repairs are not working.

I need help, advice I have alot on my system, because I am a graphics designer so to loose any more files is unimaginable to me please. Also, how can I prevent anymore of such occurrence in the future.

If you can respond promptly I would be very grateful.
