Windows 10: The keyboard randomly stops working, but the backlight works.

Sometimes my mechanical keyboard 1stplayer mk8 lang lite stops working, but the backlight works. I don’t hear any reconnection sounds, it happens completely by accident when I press some keys. The keyboard starts working only when I manually reconnect it via the USB port, or when I open the application for it. It may also stop working with an application that is already open, but it will also start working when I select some function in the application, the backlight mode, for example, after that I hear the sound of switching and the keyboard works normally. I tried: uninstalling the drivers

Keyboard Backlight Has Stopped Working.

Please, the keyboard backlight of my Acer Aspire F 15 has stopped working. How do I fix this problem.

Keyboard/touchpad stop working randomly


This has happened a lot since my upgrade to Windows 10, and it's really starting to get on my nerves. Seemingly randomly, my keyboard will stop responding to what I type, and my touchpad completely stops as well (no, I did not accidentally click to disable it). These problems will never resolve themselves on their own, but as soon as I reset the computer everything works again - to me, that sounded like a driver crash, but nope! I checked the driver menu and it told me everything was running just fine. What's even more strange is that I have the backlight keyboard enabled so that when I type, it lights up. And strangely, the keys still light up when I press them, so I know it's registering my typing SOME how.

You would also think that this would be a software problem since it fixes immediately upon reset, but I've noticed that this issue seems to crop up a lot right after I have moved my computer... I'm lost and I've scoured the internet for clues, but no one else seems to have this problem. Please help!

In order to possibly do testing on what is causing this (via suggestions hopefully, I've tried everything I can think of) I am purposely not resetting my computer (thankfully this is a touch screen, but this on-screen keyboard typing is obnoxious). Currently, both keyboard and touchpad don't work, but a usb mouse I use does (the computer is also set so that using the usb mouse does not disable the touchpad).
