Try another USB port on your pc. Try another USB keyboard on your pc.

Any other USB devices? Unplug them and see if the keyboard works at startup.

Try the keyboard on another computer - see if the problem follows the keyboard.

Look in the Event Viewer logs for error codes and messages.

Need to narrow down the problem by elimination.

No other usb devices have that problem, standard HP keyboard works fine.
Skiller pro keyboard does not have the problem on other computers.
and i cant really find anything in the event log/ do not know what to look for.

That narrows things down, I think, to a software related problem with respect to the keyboard.

What you look for in Event Viewer is some error, warning, or even an informational entry that precedes the problem. Or some entry that appears when/after you replug in the keyboard. Some entry that does not appear during start up. A process, a service.

The objective is to be able to create the problem at will. For example some process does not start and the keyboard does not work. Start the process, keyboard works. Then determine why that process does not start at boot up.

Truly can take some digging through the layers......
