  3. Windows 10 rendered inactive my keyboard

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have issues with keyboard after installing Windows 10.

    This issue may arise due to driver conflicts.

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver and check if it helps.

    Steps to uninstall and reinstall driver.

    • Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    • In the list of devices, you should see the keyboard drivers.
    • Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    • In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    • In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes”
      option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
