My laptop keyboard died a few days ago, which was fine I guess, it has been a while, but for some reason my membrane USB keyboard is also broken. I don’t know why but Ctrl, Alt, Windows, f5, and f10 don’t work, with Alt and f10 now binded to left click. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find: uninstall keyboard drivers, find manufacturer drivers to reinstall, changing keyboard settings, creating a new Windows profile to try and see if it was corruption, using command prompt, using notepad to add a registry… At this point I’m desperate to the point of using antivirus to see if I got infected by something.
So uh, any help?
I’d like to add that when following this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/specific-keys-on-keyboard-not-working-ctrl-alt/65ead128-a947-42ce-9c0b-8c6aa293d363
Specifically method 2, command prompt did not find any of the registry entries to delete, giving me a does not exist error.
I’ll probably try doing a boot stick alongside doing a Fresh Start if all else fails.
