Keyboard Drivers not working?

[Olle118]

Hi, for the last month or two my keyboard keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting. I have tried two different keyboards and the problem still remains. Today I noticed that if i look at "Units" while it disconnects it says "Driver Error" so does anyone know how to fix the drivers?

> Go to Device Manager.

> Expand the Keyboards tree.

> Right-click the keyboard connected to your PC and is troublesome.

If the problem persists:

> Disable Fast Startup on Your Windows 10.

> Open Device Manager again.

> Expand the Keyboards tree.

> Right-click the culprit keyboard.

> Click Uninstall and follow the on-screen instructions to remove the keyboard driver.

> Disconnect the keyboard and use mouse to restart the PC without connecting it.

> Once Windows starts without the keyboard, use the mouse to shut it down again. (Don't restart, only shut down)

> Reconnect the keyboard.

> Start the computer again and let Windows install the keyboard driver automatically.

> If needed, restart the computer again and see if the problem is fixed.

Feel free to report back if further assistance is needed. Good Luck!!
