    Keyboard has stopped working in all games


    Some time around the 5th Sept my computer seems to have done an update, i guess that is the case as there was some pages that are usually displayed during initial OS setup when i came back to my PC after a break.

    Anyway, Since the 5th i have not been able to use a keyboard in any games i play. The only games i play are Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite and it will not work in any of them. I have tried another keyboard and the issue is still there. I have tried the on-screen keyboard and it works but only in roblox, There is no way to move the curser out of the game window on the other two games to be able to test it out.

    Also if a game is running then it stops the keyboard from working in any application. well i say any application but i have only tried Edge, office and windows calculator. and was only able to test this with roblox running as neither of the other games give curser control on the desktop outside the game.

    i have checked every setting i can find, made sure that all drivers and BIOS are up to date. I have even done a fresh install of W10 and still the issue is there.

    Im now at a loss, please heeeeeeeeeelp Keyboard has stopped working in all games :)

    :)

    That’s strange, May I know if you have connected another accessories beside the keyboard and mouse?
    If yes, please disconnect everything except the keyboard and mouse

    If you don’t mind, can you try installing Windows 10 21H1 in your PC?
    You can create the bootable drive using this ISO
    https://archive.org/details/win-10-21-h-1-engli...

    Before that try this:
    Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily
    Restart your pc and give it a new try

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Aiden

    Please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

    Do you have a laptop or a tower?

    In any case, did you tried connecting a different keyboard to a USB port?

    Is this happening only when you open games? Or if you try typing on Word, notepad, browser, etc the keyboard works?

    What version of Windows 10 do you have installed right now?

    And did you reinstalling the keyboard drivers from the manufacturer site, right?

    Hi Josef, thanks for a fast response!

    Do you have a laptop or a tower? Tower
    In any case, did you tried connecting a different keyboard to a USB port? yes, tried another keyboard and tried both keyboards in different USB ports
    Is this happening only when you open games? Or if you try typing on Word, notepad, browser, etc the keyboard works? if no games are running then the keyboard works fine. if i then load a game (let say roblox for this example) then the keyboard stops working. not just in the game but any other applications im running. Cannot even type into the search box on the taskbar. I used Roblox as an example becuase thats the only game that i can still control the cursor on the desktop to be able to open other things. fornight and mincraft seem to disable any control outside of the game.
    What version of Windows 10 do you have installed right now? im running W10 Home Ver 10.019041
    And did you reinstalling the keyboard drivers from the manufacturer site, right? The website for my keyboard does not have drivers, its just a generic keyboard and its PnP with Windows OS Click Mechanical Feel Keyboard RGB - GameMax UK

    Keyboards

    It will work straight away for text input during messaging and the likes.

    Every time the Xbox would show a virtual keyboard on the screen for text input, the keyboard will work.

    As for games, the game has to be specifically made to support keyboards.

    Not all games are able to use keyboards.

    For example Fortnite and Minecraft are popular examples for games that work with an USB Keyboard and USB mouse.
