  1. Windows 10 not taking input from Keyboard


    Everything worked fine yesterday on my HP computer.

    Today, the mouse works and I can press any key on the keyboard to wake the computer or make it bring up the login screen.

    However, when I type my password or PIN the letters do not enter on the screen but the 'enter' key does work and it tells me I have entered incorrect PIN or password.


    I've tried booting in safe mode but while it recognizes me pressing the F8 key, it doesn't recognize the ESC key and then boots normally.

    I've successfully tried the keyboard on another computer and unsuccessfully tried another keyboard on my HP computer.


    Finally, I rebooted 3 times to force the power on assistant and the correct UK keyboard layout is selected.


    I really don't want to reinstall everything but don't know what else to try.


    regards

    Edward

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

    i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.
