I found a number of entries from last year with the initial release of Windows 8.1 however many of them suggested changing a BIOS setting related to UEFI. Ok, on to Bing to search out for possible solutions since all of these systems were working last Friday.
So, I grabbed my Windows 8.1 laptop (yes, I have many many devices to test with). Again, not what I wanted to deal with on a Monday morning. I grabbed my Surface Pro 2 (also running Windows 8.1 Update)… Same issue. Ok, no worries, I have other systems I can use to troubleshoot with.
Not exactly what I wanted to deal with on a Monday morning. Windows Key, all individual characters function keys, etc. I sat down and logged in as usual, however, once at my Windows 8.1 Update desktop, the keyboard stopped working. Currently, both keyboard and touchpad don't work, but a usb mouse I use does (the computer is also set so that using the usb mouse does not disable the touchpad).This morning I came into my office to find myself with a lovely little surprise. In order to possibly do testing on what is causing this (via suggestions hopefully, I've tried everything I can think of) I am purposely not resetting my computer (thankfully this is a touch screen, but this on-screen keyboard typing is obnoxious). I'm lost and I've scoured the internet for clues, but no one else seems to have this problem. You would also think that this would be a software problem since it fixes immediately upon reset, but I've noticed that this issue seems to crop up a lot right after I have moved my computer. And strangely, the keys still light up when I press them, so I know it's registering my typing SOME how. What's even more strange is that I have the backlight keyboard enabled so that when I type, it lights up. These problems will never resolve themselves on their own, but as soon as I reset the computer everything works again - to me, that sounded like a driver crash, but nope! I checked the driver menu and it told me everything was running just fine. Seemingly randomly, my keyboard will stop responding to what I type, and my touchpad completely stops as well (no, I did not accidentally click to disable it). This has happened a lot since my upgrade to Windows 10, and it's really starting to get on my nerves.
