A viewer on my the RealityPC Anet Computers YouTube channel had a question pertaining to their universal serial bus keyboard not working. I assume they were using a universal serial bus or a personal system two keyboard. They did not stipulate that it was an integrated laptop keyboard.
I have tried switching plugs, num lock key, ctrl+alt+shift+del, uninstalling from device manager and restarting. Nothing has worked?
I Really Don’t Know.
This individual tried some initial troubleshooting from a previous YouTube video I had recorded. They claimed that they tried connecting their universal serial bus keyboard to different ports on their computer. What you can try is tou can try booting your computer into Microsoft Windows operating system safe mode.
After your computer turns on and before that Microsoft Windows operating system attempts to boot, you will want to press your F8 function key until an advanced boot options menu opens. You can choose any of those safe mode options. Now you will want to see if your universal serial bus or personal system two style keyboard works.
If your keyboard works in any of the safe mode options but will not function in normal Microsoft Windows operating system mode, then it could possibly be a keyboard drivers issue. This individual claimed that they already messed around with the keyboard drivers and could not get this keyboard to work properly. You can also try booting off of some kind of a live compact disc read only memory.
Many linux distributions have live compact discs that you can test to see if your keyboard works. Another test is to try to enter your computer basic input output system menu. When your computer first turns on you can access that basic input output system using the appropriate key for your specific computer system.
Many times the F2 function key will allow you to access the basic input output system. What I am showing you is how to troubleshoot why your universal serial bus keyboard is not Working at all. Perhaps, you have a physically faulty keyboard that needs replacing.
Another possibility is that malware, spyware, or virus(s) might actually have infected your computer. You can always run Microsoft Windows operating system tools system file check and or check disk. You can enter the commands below into a Microsoft Windows operating system command prompt with administrator privileges.
sfc /scannow
chkdsk /f /r
You can even attempt to install your Microsoft Windows operating system again and see if that solves your universal serial bus keyboard not working problem. These instructions were written for a universal serial bus keyboard in Microsoft Windows operating system. You can use them for any version of Microsoft Windows operating system.
