Windows 8 keyboard works do not, but just for a specific profile (NOT a hardware problem)!

Hey people this is the strangest question.   Device Surface RT of my wife had the keyboard AND the small button of windows on the prior to completely stop working.   The game mouse and left and right mouse keys still work.   Also, there is still a small noise when you press the keys, but nothing appears on the screen.   I tried to plug and reconnect the cover touch, tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, and then I put in place a whole new profile on the machine and the button keyboard and windows worked fine.    Then I connected to our desktop PC of Windows 8 with my wife and found that the keyboard does not work there either!   Maybe there is a setting or another that has been altered in its account of Microsoft and now the setting is homelessness... it's the strangest problem.   Has anyone ever heard talk about him?     I consider just ditching her account and setting it up with a new one but it has invested heavily in ongoing one since it is also his e-mail address and she had a bunch of applications.

Thank you
Mike

None of these methods did the trick.   The real solution was to change a configuration setting in the center of the "ease of access".   I had a setting called "Turn on filter keys" turned on, as well as some detailed within this feature options.   It was probably the result of my daughter for 3 years getting there when I wasn't looking :-).    Given that I had roaming profile through devices settings, it affects all devices connected to this account.   After that I fixed it in the same place, the new setting propagated to the others and the problem was solved!   I hope that my pain on this is useful to someone else in the future who runs into this problem.

In addition, I hope that Windows 8 product team numbers how 'error proof' this 'feature' which is configurable in the next update of product, since I can't imagine any scenario of "ease of use" could involve expanding the physical buttons on the keyboard and windows stop working while still making small noises as if they work.

  • ProBook 450 - second series of recovery media, blue screens windows 7 (win 8 okay, not the hardware problem)

    I had a new HP probook 450 G1.

    Immediately, I swapped the 750 GB for one SSD drive and tried to install Windows 7 from the recovery media. The operation has failed. Contact HP support, they sent new media.

    I used new media. Windows 7 operating system installed. As soon as I install the drivers, the PC goes in a loop of the blue screen.

    I can install the chipset drivers and wifi. Don't know what the other driver is causing the blue screen. I can also install from the windows media 8, so this isn't a hardware problem - wife hates just windows 8.

    Basically, please either give me a few troubleshooting steps or I'll go back to the PC. I'm NOT insterested in a manual process long to determine which driver is the problem and the recovery download media manually the drivers one... should work.

    After you have reinstalled the original 750 GB hard drive with the replacement media, I managed to an attempt to "recover". So, I decided to sit and try, by the process of elimination, all drivers.

    It turns out that the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver was causing the problem. When I installed everything BUT that, the laptop works very well. Notice that I use a fairly new SSD Crucial of M500. It is quite possible there are other people out there see it. You really need to install the driver of rapid storage technology, it is fast enough - not not even 100% sure what good to give the driver.

    So I gave myself wrong guidance by the initial recovery of defective media. The second group of work recovery media, but the version of the driver intel 12.7.3.1001 does NOT work with the Crucial M500. I checked the Intel site for driver downloads, and it was not clear that they have a newer driver appropriate right now. Maybe someone else can tell?

  • Problem with the keyboard work is not on the computer.

    my keyboard works in BIOS, but not on windows, if I look in Device Manager, it seems that it is not detected, same result if I ask to install new hardware it says no new hardware found

    This problem is more than a FEW DAYS OLD?  How the question, "my keyboard works in BIOS but not in windows" would be only a few days old?  Don't you have the machine but left on? Heh

    If possible, restore back those days (if these days are before you wrote the question).

    The keyboard works in Mode safe?

    If so, the keyboard works for other users (create one if you haven't)?

    Is there any "unknown devices" in Device Manager?

    Other options that come to mind:

    1. Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    2. Windows Vista repair install

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now online videos don't work on Firefox but on other browsers, does anyone else have this problem?

    After that download the latest version of Windows Update, I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or other sites. Switching to other browsers I found that I could play these same videos now without any problems. So I did a system restore to determine if updates of Windows had hit video play using Firefox. The restore point has been updated with the day before the download of Windows has occurred. After System Restore has been completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.

    To ensure that Windows Update has been the problem, I downloaded again the most recent Windows updates and once more could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System Restore has been used to put my computer on the eve again and once more the OE videos would play in the Firefox browser.

    In fact, your answer took me in a different direction and I found this on the Adobe site:

    The extension of RealPlayer for Firefox, the download and registration, has problems of compatibility with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to view a video.

    To work around the problem, do the following:

       Start RealPlayer.
    
       Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    
       Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    
       Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    

    Once I did this I could replay now videos in Firefox.

  • Lenovo G560 keyboard works do not at all

    Keyboard laptop Lenovo G560 of my brother stopped working really suddenly, he was trying to connect to Facebook; When he went to type his password, nothing on the keyboard worked.

    What could possibly be the cause? We rebooted, tried to start in safe mode (which was not possible as the arrows were not working), he managed to connect to his computer with keyboard on screen and has the guy over there at the moment, that's why I present this post.

    If you have ideas on how we could solve this problem; Please let me know!

    Thank you very much.

    P.S. Just to be clear... NONE of the keys are working at ALL. The pad touch and left and right, click work, the power button works, but that's all.

    It seems that your keyboard is dead. Contact lenovo helpline for free replacement if you have a valid warranty.

  • Android keyboard works do not - any help gratefully received

    I just bought an asus TF700 for home and to use for the job.  Really satisfied with the product,

    Access the table of work top of page with the software vQuest, countertop came without problem but the keyboard dock has not answered, at least numbers responded and came on the screen, the mouse worked, but all letters are dead, i.e. press a letter nothing on the screen.  When detached from the keyboard screen appears and works very well.  Anyone know if I can fix it myself or a central fix is needed?  The OS is Android ice scream sandwich.

    see you soon

    Hi Gary,.

    Is this due to a Web site? Through Webaccess, you can change that setting so I have previous it connected as a default. The default id is 280761.

    In the meantime, the solution is to connect through the vworkspace application itself.

    Your Admins may allow a direct access via the vWorkspace app. If they do that, the keyboard works (and they can still set to use an RSA token)

    They may have allowed this already so you better asking them how to add and configure the farm through the App.

    Thank you, Andrew

  • Windows 7: Wifi works is not in safe or normal mode

    Hello

    After a BIOS recent update HP my Wifi (light-F12 key) was first released in normal mode, but it still worked in safe mode. Then after a few fault-finding, he then went out in safe mode! I have a F12 button that works as a button on / off for Wifi, is 'white', is "red". Currently affects in break mode and does not turn white.
    I tried the following methods to try to get it working again, but nothing helps: -.
    Device Manager: network card: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller - uninstall > restart > reinstall * Wifi does not
    Network adapter HP and Realtec driver update * both completed successfully. WFII does not
    Restore Windows to previous 1 month * restore complete. WiFi doesn't work do not
    BIOS check to make sure that the adapter is enabled * adapter "Enabled". WiFi doesn't work do not
    BIOS check keys F * F keys ok. * Wifi does not
    COMODO antivirus, uninstalled and reinstalled * Wifi does not
    Then I took drastic measures back the laptop to the factory setting and by a return to the top of an external drive. Last backup date was June 2013. * This does not solve the problem either.

  • Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)

    After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while.  But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.

    The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.

    Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?

    Hello ExcelsiorPath,

    After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed.  I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.

    If the other keys do not work

    You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

      To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."

  • Why Windows seems to work very well, but Windows Media Center not?

    Hello

    Today, I was with my Home Theater PC (HTPC) to record TV. Everything worked well. I wanted to watch a YouTube video when I was recording was completed. When I went on YouTube, there was no audio data.

    I use a HDMI from the HTPC to connect to my Pioneer VSX-50. While watching the TV show, the VSX-50 would show he was getting audio to 5.1 channels as it should. When I go on YouTube, all the sound elements would not pass, no audio signal is sent to the VSX-50.

    So I had a slight problem when it seems that Windows and Windows Media Center try to run the sound completely different from each other. And I went to my "manage Audio Devices" set up so that Windows would go the 5.1 audio channels (I think that until then he was established as stereo?). Once I did, I was able to get a YouTube sound very well. Then I went back to Windows Media Center. Media Center at the start, that's fine, but when I try to watch live TV or any recording, sound glitches (she repeats a second 1 loop repeatedly while video continues to play as if it's good), then he falls all together. After the sound glitch, my VSX-50 shows no audio signal is sent to the receiver, and I can't he come back! It really frustrates me!

    Any ideas?

  • Asus Eee pc keyboard works does not quite

    I was on Win7 starter pack when evrything was perfectly fine and then I joined Win10 and soon a few keys on my keyboard stopped working but sometimes they worked between the two, whose reasons are unknown.

    Now using Win10 is difficult without a proper keyboard, I tried the roll to win7 using the rescue disk but who do not have too much and windows had bad start up.

    I've arranged a copy of win7 to fix (using an external keyboard) and have now win7 started to re-installed. BUT, to my surprise, keyboard problems are still there.

    Please advice what needs to be done.

    Keyboard problems are still there.

    This means that the keyboard is defective. You will need to replace it, or even use an external keyboard.
