Many other Windows 10\/11 users are reporting the same problem, especially after installing the KB4074588 update on February 13, 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And fortunately, there&#8217;s a solution. Here are 5 options to try. You may not need to try them all. Just work your way down the list until you find the one that fixes the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#m1\">Ensure your USB port is working<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#m2\"><strong>Turn off filter keys<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#m3\"><strong>Reinstall your keyboard driver<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#m4\"><strong>Update your keyboard and USB drivers (recommended)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#bios\">Update your computer BIOS<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#chromeos\">Switch to ChromeOS<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-before-we-move-further\">Before we move further&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick way to tell if your keyboard not working is a hardware problem or not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Notepad, the built-in Windows app, and try to type in it. If the faulty keys don&#8217;t work even in Notepad, the problem is very likely on the hardware front. In that case, you may get your keyboard repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, please move on to the fixes below to get the keyboard not working problem fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"m1\">Method 1: Ensure your USB port is working<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a USB port can just stop working when you upgrade to a new version of Windows. Usually, it&#8217;s because of a driver problem. You should always check for this problem first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, it&#8217;s easy to test: simply unplug the keyboard from the USB port and plug in another USB device &#8211; like a mouse or an external hard drive. If that device doesn&#8217;t work either, the USB port itself is the problem, and you should skip straight to <a href=\"#4\">Method 4<\/a>. If the device you just plugged in does work, then continue to <a href=\"#2\">Method 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-2-turn-off-filter-keys\"><a id=\"m2\"><\/a>Method 2: Turn off filter keys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Windows has a setting, called Filter Keys, that allows you to control how it deals with accidental repeated keystrokes. Unfortunately, if turned on, this setting has been known to cause some keyboards to stop working in Windows 10\/11. So you should check if it&#8217;s turned on. If it is, you should turn it off and see if that resolves the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Windows 10:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list brackets\">\n<li>On your PC desktop, click the <strong>Action Center<\/strong>&nbsp;icon in the lower-right corner and click<strong> All settings<\/strong>.&nbsp;<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"338\" class=\"wp-image-34893\" style=\"width: 350px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_5a90eaf472564.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_5a90eaf472564.png 359w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/img_5a90eaf472564-300x290.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Ease of Access<\/strong>.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"wp-image-28364\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ease-of-access.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ease-of-access.png 1075w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ease-of-access-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ease-of-access-1024x697.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span><span>Click <strong>Keyboard<\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"521\" class=\"wp-image-28365\" style=\"width: 350px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Keyboard.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Keyboard.png 346w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Keyboard-202x300.png 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure <strong>Filter Keys<\/strong> is <strong>OFF<\/strong>, and close the window.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"631\" class=\"wp-image-28366\" style=\"width: 350px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Filter-keys.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Filter-keys.png 520w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Filter-keys-166x300.png 166w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Windows 11:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list brackets\">\n<li>On your keyboard, press the&nbsp;<strong>Windows<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>key<\/strong>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<strong>I<\/strong>&nbsp;at the same time to open&nbsp;<strong>Settings<\/strong>.

Sure, Windows 11 is relatively new, but it\u2019s still just the latest iteration of a decades-old operating system, designed for a bygone era (pre-internet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have the internet, fast connection speeds, free cloud storage, and endless web apps (like Gmail, Google Docs, Slack, Facebook, Dropbox and Spotify), the entire Windows way of doing things &#8211; with locally installed programs and local file storage &#8211; is totally outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is that a problem? Because when you\u2019re constantly installing uncontrolled third-party programs, you\u2019re constantly opening the door to viruses and other malware. (And Windows\u2019 insecure permission system compounds this problem.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus the way Windows manages installed software and hardware has always been a problem. If your computer shuts down unexpectedly, or a program installs, uninstalls or updates incorrectly, you can get \u2018registry\u2019 corruptions. That\u2019s why Windows PCs always slow down and become unstable over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also because everything\u2019s installed and saved locally, it doesn\u2019t take long before you run out of disk space, and your disk gets fragmented, which makes everything even slower and more unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, the simplest way to solve Windows problems is to ditch Windows altogether, and <strong>switch to a faster, more reliable, more secure, easier to use and cheaper operating system\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chromebook\/chrome-os\/\" onclick=\"gtag('event', 'click', {'event_category': 'link', 'event_label': 'kbde-externalurl-GoChromeOS', 'value': 1, 'non_interaction': true });\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google ChromeOS.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ChromeOS feels much like Windows, but instead of installing heaps of programs to email, chat, browse the internet, write documents, do school presentations, create spreadsheets, and whatever else you normally do on a computer, you use web apps.
