Cutting Power Worked For Me!
I have Windows 10 as well and suddenly my mouse and keyboard stopped working. I thought the USB ports have gone bad because no matter where I insert the k&m, they would light up but acted like if they were frozen but Windows seemed to load just fine.
I tried to do what one of the members did to fix his and somehow it worked. What he did is that he cut the power pulling off the power cord out while Windows 10 was loading a couple of times and after the second time, Windows booted in recovery mode. From there, he was able to do a system restore.
I tried to do just that but I did not do it twice but only once and just waited for Windows to load normally after the first time cutting power pulling off the cord and this time the keyboard and mouse worked fine. No need for Windows system restore!
After that I installed all available Windows updates and I haven't had that same problem again. :)
