    win10 no longer allows plug n play keyboards to work


    i rebooted my computer late on the 15th / early the 16th and when it came up the keyboard quit working. trouble shooting proved usb ports working, devices working on other comp, plug n play mouse headset all fine.....just no keybd. tried removing rebooting reinstalling to no avail. comp sees the keybd. says its installed, but in device check there are no drivers and it cant find any. only with keyboards and happens with three different brands. what am i doing wrong?

    :)

  3. All keyboards and Mice no longer work

    I have tried all other ports and tried other keyboards. Still not working, This is GavenXR by the way for some reason it switched user names. Again to just point out this is since the update and I can't login in to be able to check drivers in device manager
    because nothing is working

    win10 no longer allows plug n play keyboards to work

    More info is needed. Please fill out more complete specifications for your PC under "My Computer" (there's a TenForums Tutorial for that: System Specs - Fill in at Ten Forums). And do tell us what kinds of keyboards you've tried out, and whether they're wired or wireless, or whatever. We'll help you out. And FWIW, it's probably not exactly Windows 10's fault: undoubtedly, there's some kind of driver issue at work.
    HTH,

    plug and play..... so all keybds plug into usb ports.....it acts like someone clicked a setting to disallow keyboards. onn keybd , logitech ones, none work, not even the one that worked right befor the reboot. saw old posts for older systems suggesting deleting c windows inf file but win10 doesnt have the same file name. i may have to just reformat

    Have you tried booting from a repair/recovery disk (bootable Windows install media will do)? If the keyboard still doesn't work then, something really interesting is no doubt going on. Sorry for your troubles. But please: be more specific about the keyboards you're using: Logitech make and model? others? Thanks,

    Windows has always been stupid with this it installs drivers like this when you login not before so if you can actually get to login it should then install

    when unplugged and removed from system, when plugged in i get notified it sees the usb keyboard and moments later says good to go, but it lies because the device says it has no drivers and cannot find any

    If you have the onscreen keyboard, right-click "Start", select "Run" type in "devmgmt.msc" and click "OK". When device manager starts, expand "Keyboards", right-click the keyboard entry, select "Update driver", then click "Browse my computer for driver software". If a driver is found, install it. You may have to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    i tried searching 4 drivers on computer, online, at the keyboards site, and at microsoft update-comp says cant find any. i tried complete removal of keybd , turn off puter , plug in keybd and then start comp . always same result: keybd shows in device manager without any drivers. in trying to find a solution, i found people with same exact problem but in older OS such as vista win7 xp which their solution was 'try going to C:\windows\inf\ and deleting the infcache.1 file (this is the file that tells windows were to look automatically for driver files)' but either win10 doesnt have that file or i cant see it, and it works fine 4 all other plug n play devices like mouse, headset.......so this is very weird. it acts as if i had a setting that would disallow all external keybds. this model has everything internal-so i cant boot from a different drive with a cd - wishing 4 an easier fix than a reformat but am getting close to giving up and going 4 that option
     
  12. Please ensure your keyboards do work on another computer, then stay with one that does work and let us know which one it is. I can't tell if the Logitech K120 is the one your son took back.

    Try Control Panel > Troubleshooting > Hardware and Sound

    Control panel > Ease of Access Center
    --- Check out on-screen keyboard settings: see if it's set for the on-screen keyboard is set to automatically be used
    --- I haven't done the above but looking into the Ease of Access Center settings it looks like those ideas might be possible.

    Try a different USB port

    win10 no longer allows plug n play keyboards to work

    Thank you all very much for your help and ideas. I tried so many things, but this had to be the weirdest thing that's ever happened to any of my computers. Obviously the part/pieces/software for searching for and using plug and play devices was working (at least in part) because it had no problem with mice, headphones, any other plug 'n play device.....but failed to install any of the three different brand keyboards. They weren't disabled, the computer could 'see' that they were there, just without any drivers, and I made sure all the settings were correct (several times) even though I never changed them in the first place. All devices work just fine, all the USB ports work just fine,....I finally just threw up my hands and did a reformat.
    This time I am making sure to make restore points (duh, I should have done that in the first place.)
     
  14. "I finally just threw up my hands and did a reformat." I probably would have made the same decision .
    Thanks for letting us know your solution.

    Yes, do please let us know if you're able to get back up and running. There have been a rash of recent reports of keyboards and mice gone missing (together) and it would be nice to piece together what the heck is going on. Thanks!
