Windows 10: updates consistently affecting keyboards

Is anyone else getting seriously cheesed off with every update from microsoft screwing up any keyboard that's not a microsoft one? i have three now and every single time an update comes out they start misbehaving. Every time! Having to resort to my crappy USB keyboard that's about 10yrs old just to be able to type. Come ON Microsoft - what are you playing at! We can't all afford your extortionate wireless keyboards. isn't this the same as when you got fined for making people use your browser instead of being able to use their own?


If anyone has a fix to stop this shenanigans and allow any wireless keyboard to work I'd be most grateful.


Thanks

:)

 

Keyboard problem in Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.
  

Hope the information is helpful.

Keyboard not working after Windows 10 Update

Hi,

Have you tried updating
your mouse and keyboard driver? If not, we suggest you to do so. There is a possibility that the driver is not compatible with the new Windows 10 update. However, one

• 
  On your search bar, type
  Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Change the view to
  View all.
  
• 
  Choose
  Hardware and Devices
  and run the troubleshooter.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
