Windows 10: Update caused unresponsive mouse and keyboards.

Computer was working fine this morning and then when I logged off to go do some errands it prompted me the update which I accepted. Now when I come home my computer turns on like normal but my mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. I’ve tried numerous ports, I’ve tried hard rebooting, and I’ve tried different keyboards but nothing is responsive. Somehow this update has affected my ports for mouse and keyboards and would love to have advice on how to fix.
