Alright. I updated to Windows 10 build 1809 several days ago, but everything has been smooth since. Yesterday, I attempted to play a game of Rocket League, but realized by Xbox controller (wired via USB, not wireless) was not responding, despite the logo on the top of the controller being lit. I assumed it was a random issue that would resolve itself, turned off my computer, and went to bed.
Today, after turning on my PC, my keyboard and mouse aren't responding. They're both RGB, and neither are even lighting up. Strangely, the red LED on my USB microphone is lit up, so it may be working. I've tried switching around the USB plugs, but neither mouse or keyboard (or an additional mouse and keyboard) work in any port, whereas my microphone seems to be working in every port.
I cannot log into my PC, nor can I access BIOS. I restarted the PC enough to get into Automatic Repair, but I cannot make a selection between Restart and Advanced Options. I'm at a total loss as to how to proceed except to wipe Windows, but that prospect makes me cry.**
**Although, I have Windows on an SSD, random programs on a later-purchased NVMe SSD, and a HDD of music/movies/etc. If I reinstall Windows on the NVMe, the data on the HD will be untouched, right? How would I go about uninstalling Windows from the SSD?
Edited to add: Through no work of my own, after having it sit on the Restart/Advanced Options screen of Automatic Repair, I went ahead and manually restarted it (for the 8th time) and everything worked like normal, including my Xbox controller which should have been my first clue. I'm so confused right now.
Edited 2: Spoke too soon, maybe. The keyboard and mouse work long enough to get me logged in, (and remain lit), but they stop accepting inputs after a minute or so. WTF.
Edited 3: I'm trying to be more thorough about which devices are plugged into which port to try to isolate a device or port that's wrong, but even without making any changes to whats plugged in where, if my keyboard/mouse work and for how long seems totally randomized. Sometimes it'll light up and work briefly, sometimes it'll light up and not work, sometimes it won't light up or work at all.
