Keyboard not always working

Hello @Richchad,

To exclude things first . . .

[1] Have you tried a different Keyboard?
[2] Have you got a System Restore Point PRIOR to this happening that you could try?
[3] Have you tried turning the Keyboard upside down and shaking it, sometimes bits can fall inside and cause intermittent malfunctioning?
[4] Did you install ANY WU's PRIOR to this happening?
[5] Did you install ANY Software or ANY Software Updates PRIOR to this happening?
[6] Have you run SFC? . . .

 SFC

IMPORTANT:

• It is recommended when running SFC that Fast Startup is turned OFF [ Turn it back ON when finished ] => How to Turn On or Off Fast Startup in Windows 10
  
  
• If SFC finds any ERRORS that it can NOT repair, run SFC again upto 3 more times, Restarting after each to allow any pending actions to be implemented.
  
  
• DISM will initially try and Repair ANY Corrupted or Missing files using the Component Store.
  If this is NOT possible, DISM will use Windows Update. Therefore, Internet access is required.
  If you are NOT connected to the Internet, you will receive a Error: 0x800f081f.

[1] Press the Win + X keys together > Command Prompt (Admin).

[3] Press the Ctrl + C keys together.
[4] Right-click inside the Administrator: Command Prompt Window > Paste.
[5] Press Enter.

Hello @Richchad,

Richchad said:

I don’t know what you mean “Have I installed any WU’s” ?

Sorry, that means Windows Updates.

Richchad said:

I hadn’t run SFC but did so after your reply and found it repaired some corrupted files.
However since this I haven’t had a problem with the keyboard not working.
So hopefully this repair has fixed it, I guess time will tell if this is so,

Thank you for your suggestions and I appreciate your help with this.

That is good news, obviously, if the problem reappears, then please post back.

You are VERY welcome.
