Windows 10: USB Keyboard stops after a couple of minutes

Hi, so here how it goes.


I have a lenovo v110-15IAP.


I was using for a year a usb wireless keyboard with no issues. Stopped using it for a couple of weeks Vacation time and when I was back it wasn't working like before.

I can type normally for a minute, but then I have to press each letter like 5 times to work. Not one specific key, each and every key had to be pressed again and again.


Got the keyboard back as broken and got a new wired one, and it's the same.

Works like a charm after a restart, and after 1 minute keys are not working, I have to press each of them multiple times.


So far:

- Device manager shows no errors

- Driver booster shows all drivers are up to date

- Lenovo has no drivers online for the keys

- on cmd the commands "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" & "sfc /scannow" worked, found errors, but didn't fixed it

- Laptops keyboard works like a charm

- USB port is ok, and usb mouse works perfectly


Any help will be well received!!!

:)

 

USB keyboard disconnects when holding any button down

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps:

• The USB connection may be loose. Try unplugging the keyboard, and then plugging it back in.
• Plug the keyboard into a different USB port.
• If your keyboard is plugged into a USB hub or USB switch box, try removing it and plugging the keyboard into the computer.
• Unplug other USB devices that are not in use.
• Try the keyboard on another computer to verify it is working correctly

Method 2: Also I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the usb keyboard drivers as below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows+X and go to device manager.
• Then expand keyboards and right click on the driver.
• Then click on uninstall and restart the computer.
• It will be reinstalled automatically and check if it helps.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

Wired Keyboard and Mouse Stop Working - Windows 10

Wired Keyboard and Mouse Stop Working - Windows 10
I have an old Dell Studio that is running windows 10 ---

Ir has Windows 10 and SSD installed - to me it does what it needs to do but this darn mouse and keyboard stuff stopping working with no rhyme or reason is making me very frustrated.

Keyboard and Mouse are wired - NOT WIRELESS

• I cannot easily unplug and plug in the mouse/keyboard to get it going again... they are still lit up but they are dead basically and I have to do a hard reset.
  
• USB selective suspend is disabled.
• I checked the drivers for the keyboard and mouse and they are updated.
• I checked to see if PC has KB4074588 and it does not.

I am not sure what else to do.... I can go days without the issue and then days where anytime I step away from the PC it stops working.

I can say when it is working it just does not just stop ... only when I walk away and the machine is idle or the screen is locked.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
