Keyboard: keys stop working - what to do?

If individual letters on your keyboard no longer work, there can be several reasons. We'll show you how to solve the problem.

Keyboard: Keys no longer work

1. Check the connection: briefly remove the keyboard from the computer and then reconnect it. If the keyboard is connected via USB, use a different USB port.
2. Restart: Even a restart can do little miracles under Windows. This eliminates errors in the buffer.
3. Install driver: In many cases there is a driver problem. Uninstall and then reinstall the keyboard drivers. Instructions can be found in the next paragraph.
4. Defect: If this does not help, there is a high probability that the keyboard is defective. You may need to replace the device.
