Windows 10: Unable to use keyboard and mouse in System Recovery Settings

I am trying to reach command prompt or troubleshoot settings in order to solve another problem related to administrator privileges. But my mouse and keyboard only works until clicking command prompt or troubleshoot after clicking them, neither keyboard nor mouse are working. It's not a hardware problem, normally they both work fine. I did unplug/plug again.


Thanks for reading and any help is appreaciated.

Laptop keyboard and mouse not working

Hi,

Since you are unable to use the keyboard and mouse, we suggest doing a system restore through Windows 10 Recovery Environment (WinRe). Follow the steps below and see if it helps:

• 
  Start your desktop, and after the manufacturers logo disappears and Windows 10 tries to boot, press and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds to perform a hard shut down.
  
• 
  Do the step #1 until you see the Windows logo screen or Please wait during boot. (You may need to perform this up to 3 times.)
  
• 
  After Windows 10 boots into the Windows 10 Recovery Environment (WinRE), you can now access Startup Recovery, Safe Mode, and Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Restore, and then check if you have a restore point.
  
• 
  In the list of available restore points, choose the date prior to the issue. Steps can be found in this article on
  how to perform a System Restore. Refer to Restore from a system restore point.
  

Looking forward to your response.
