Mouse and keyboard stop working

I have windows 7 64 bit edition Home premium.  Intel I5 6 GB of Ram chip. Had this system for 3 years and no problem.  Today, when I myself post on someones facebook page all of a sudden my keyboard stopped entered the words I typed. did not work.   The mouse was working. I rebooted and it worked for a few minutes.  Then he stopped again.  I plugged in the keyboard to a different usb port and it started working, but then the mouse has frozen completely.  I put the mouse on a USB of Hung and it works for now.   My anti virus is so far - I even ran the Norton Patrick gum aggressively looking for problems and he came back with no risk not found.   Is there any type of virus which would attack the keyboard and mouse?  Did someone had experience with in the past?  I have not downloaded new software in a year so nothing new has been added unless there is an automatic update of windows.  Just checked and the last updated 2/15, a few weeks ago and today is the first time with the problem.

Hi Carl,

1. What is the brand and model of the mouse/keyboard/computer?

2. do you get an error related to the question message/code?

This problem might be caused by the virus, but this usually occurs due to drivers of bad/corrupt keyboard/mouse/USB host controller.

I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps for the mouse and keyboard from the Microsoft KB article and check if it solves the problem.

  • USB mouse and keyboard stop working after I have install Windows Update KB2913431

    After installation automatic Windows Update KB2913431 (Win 7 Enterprise), the computer seems to work very well, but my mouse and keyboard stop working.  The option of automatic repair after that start with F8 does not work.  He said that the error is "unspecified".

I think you get the idea.

    I think it must be a driver problem.  I passed through the Device Manager and uninstall all hidden devices.  I have updated the drivers for everything that has an update available.  I tried to disable all, but Microsoft services at startup and in the list of "services".  I've always been unsuccessful; However, when I can get it to successfully restore to a point before the update (none of the automatic restore points work correctly) it seems ok.  It will sometimes seem to work after I applied the update, but then go haywire shortly after.  I am convinced that it is not a hardware problem, given that the prior update restores (when they actually cross without failure) work very well.

    I went through countless articles in the knowledge base and tried all the suggestions I've seen, other than registry cleaners because I had a bad experience with this earlier.  I tried so many things that I lost count and the memory of some of them.

    I reached point is never install the update (an option that I prefer not to use) or creating a clean Windows install on another drive (an option that I prefer not to use, but I'm a little more friendly to).  I already started to back up files to prepare a clean install, but I reach out one last time before I pull the trigger.

  • Mouse and keyboard stopped working on Windows 8

    I have a laptop Sony Vaio model VGN-NS110E 2010 number middle. Since a few days ago my mother used it, and after it was closed and she turned on, the keyboard and the mouse do not work (the mouse wont even see on the desktop). (Yes, I tried to plug in an external mouse and keyboards, the computer won't even save) It seems that the keyboard does not work for a second before loading windows because I can press the NumLock key and the light comes on and goes off. But once windows starts loading, it stops working. The mouse and the keyboard also works if I get the computer start in recovery mode (the blue screen with the options to perform a system recovery, etc.). I can't the computer to boot in safe mode. And I tried to do a reset back a few days or a few weeks, and the mouse and keyboard still do not work. I'm guessing that the drivers are not loading, for some reason any. I guess the logical solution would be to do a factory reset, but my mom has all these bookmarks saved in his internet browser explorer, that she does not want desperately to lose. Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix or at least on the way to save somehow my moms stuff and if a reset?

    Hello Duane,

    Thank you for the update on the issue.

    If the keyboard and mouse does not work in one of the option, this means there could be a hardware problem is not getting detected so you may have to perform a refresh of your computer, but for this, there are also a working keyboard and a mouse. The best option that I can help you is to contact the manufacturer of your computer (SONY) or technicians who can check it physically and can reach to the root cause.

    Keep us updated on the issue.

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not to the login screen

    Hi, I was recently infected with Antispyware Soft virus. In my attempt to remove it, my screen went black, so I had to restart my computer. Entering my login screen, I was unable to connect because my keyboard and mouse no longer works. I tried to start the safe mode too and they still do not work on the login screen. However, they work at the start of the BIOS. I looked around, but I couldn't find any option for Legacy USB drivers. I went to a few USB option and select [Enabled] and it still doesn't work to the login screen. I have no PS2 port, so I can't try it. I was also able to use my mouse and keyboard when you attempt a repair of the system to do a system restore, but that solves nothing. I am at a loss what to do. I hope someone is late, as I'll be gone tomorrow/more day late today. I am writing a computer laptop and unable to remember any care my office except the fact, it's Windows Vista.

    Hi HellMuT1,

     
    We recommend to use a different mouse and keyboard, then check the result. If the problem persists, try the following steps.
    1. Insert Windows Vista DVD.
    2. restart your computer.
    3. let the computer restart (boot) from the DVD.
    4. If you are prompted, press a key to continue.
    5. When you reach the screen install Windows, select your preferences in the language to install, time and currency format and keyboard or input method boxes, and then click Next.
    6. do not click on install now. Instead, click on repair your computer. The System Recovery Options dialog box appears.
    7. make sure that the appropriate operating system is selected, and then click Next.
    8. After you click Next, the System Recovery Options menu appears.
    9. click on command prompt.
    10. type devmgmt.msc and press enter
    11. on the window Device Manager, in the object list, expand mice and other pointing devices.
    12. make a right click the sub element and click on uninstall.
    13 expand keyboards.
    14. make a right click the sub element and click on uninstall.
    15. Type exit and press ENTER to restart the computer.
    16. remove Vista DVD and restart the computer to see if the keyboard and mouse works fine.

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not with the ERD in Windows 7 and Windows 7 install disc

    I have a Dell XPS 8700.  I just did an upgrade to an SSD.  The DSS started once with no problems, then it wouldn't start.  I get an error message 1 MBR.

    If I do a F12, I am able to boot from the SSD drive and everything works fine, but if any process requires a reboot it will not work.  IE, windows update that requires a restart does not update because it cannot restart.

    To fix the MBR, use either the repair or install disk to get to the command line.  I have two drives and when I boot with them I get the initial screen of language/keyboard and mouse and keyboard do not work.  I have the keyboard and mouse installed in USB 2.0 ports, their was also in 3.0 ports with the same results.  They work fine until the disc over to install the files, and then they die.  I tried 2 different sets of keyboards and mice with the same results.

    I also tried to use the Dell recovery disk and it did find and supposed to solve a problem when I ran in the beginning.  But I still get the MBR error.  The disc is represented and it did not find any problems and I wanted to reinstall windows back to the factory.

    Suggestions as to how to get my mouse and keyboard work again with the repair and install discs would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Navneet,

    Thank you for responding.

    Did you change the computer other than the upgrade to an SSD?

    Yes, I have, but that was before the SSD.  I upgraded the video card and added a 1 TB of HARD drive data.

    What is the complete error message you get on the MBR?

    The message reads as follows;

    "MBR 1 error.  Press any key to boot from floppy. »

    There is no floppy drive installed and I even tried to start with only the connected SSD.

    Are you an error code?

    No error code.

    As for changing the BIOS, I am not satisfied with messing with the BIOS, if this isn't an option.

    After thinking about this problem, I think that Dell has disabled somehow able to use disc repair/install "Windows".  I say this because they have disabled the ability to create a disk to repair Windows out of the Dell system and cannot create a Dell recovery disk.  Also because Dell has changed the MBR it wouldn't do any good to reset the MBR to the default value of Windows and the Dell recovery disk does not give you the ability to recover the MBR manually only.

    I decided that the best option was to do a clean reinstall of the OS, and that's what I did.  Everything works great for now.   It is a PITA, but nothing that I have not done before.

    Thanks again for your help...

  • HP 9470 m Wifi and keyboard stop working

    I have a laptop HP 9470 m and it keeps a malfunction. Once I connect to my laptop and everything is started, if I move the laptop to quickly or set it to hard, WiFi turns off and the keyboard goes crazy. He began to write "QWERTY" if I'm in Notepad or in a text field, and most of the keyboard becomes inadmissible. I noticed that if I push on the right side of the keyboard the 'Shift', 'Enter' or the 'Arrow' keys, WiFi can turn back in response to each press. I almost feel the network card in the laptop is loose or the jury now all keys gets hit on the spot or something. This is a crucial issue because the laptop has become very sensitive to any form of movement and once it glitches, the laptop is useful and needs rebooted. All tips are appreciated, thanks!
