Recommended Solutions
8 soluçõesUpdate or Reinstall Keyboard Drivers
🤖 AI Analysis
"The user's keyboard has suddenly stopped responding, and they have already tried basic troubleshooting like unplugging and replugging. Driver issues are a common cause for USB devices to stop working, especially after an update or a software conflict. This solution directly addresses potential driver problems in Windows 10."
Restart Your Computer
🤖 AI Analysis
"A simple restart can resolve many temporary software glitches that might be preventing the keyboard from being recognized or functioning. Since the user has tried basic physical troubleshooting, a software-based reboot is the next logical step."
Test Keyboard on Another Computer
🤖 AI Analysis
"Testing the keyboard on another computer is a crucial step to isolate whether the problem lies with the keyboard itself or the user's computer. This will help determine if the keyboard is faulty or if the issue is specific to the user's current setup."
Test with Another USB Device
🤖 AI Analysis
"The user has confirmed that other USB devices are not experiencing issues, but testing a different USB device in the *same port* the keyboard was using is still valuable. This helps definitively confirm if the specific USB port is the problem, even if other ports and devices are working."
Check for Operating System Updates
🤖 AI Analysis
"Operating system updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues or bugs that affect hardware functionality. Since the problem occurred suddenly, an OS update might have introduced or fixed something related to keyboard recognition."
Check for Software Interference
🤖 AI Analysis
"The problem occurred suddenly. If the user recently installed new software, it could be interfering with the keyboard's operation. Checking for software interference, including specific Windows features like 'game mode' or 'focus assist', is a relevant troubleshooting step."
Try a Different USB Port
🤖 AI Analysis
"The user has already stated they tried unplugging and replugging, and the lights are on. While trying a different USB port is a good step, it's less likely to be the primary solution if the keyboard lights are on, suggesting some level of power is reaching it. However, it's still worth trying to rule out a specific port issue."
Consider Keyboard Replacement
🤖 AI Analysis
"This is a last resort solution. It should only be considered after exhausting all other troubleshooting steps, especially after testing the keyboard on another computer. The problem description doesn't yet provide enough information to jump to replacement."
