Windows 10: Should I be worried after I vacuumed my laptop's keyboard a few times?

Hi,So, before I knew that vacuuming laptops could be damaging and create static electricity, I'd vacuumed my computer's keyboard a few times. I haven't done so in a little bit, but I feel as if my fan is slightly louder and I'm very scared that I've permanently damaged my new laptop. Should I be worried about permanent damage to my laptop? There have been no signs of odd behavior with my laptop- it runs videos/audio and games just fine, and it's never glitched when turning it on. -- If damage was done to my laptop due to static electricity, would that damage have displayed itself instantaneous

Disabling laptop keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

• Press Windows + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
• Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
  
• Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
  Uninstall.
• Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.

Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
in order to uninstall it again.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

Windows 10 Laptop Keyboard Keys Acting Strange

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
