I tried to do some research on my own, but didnt find much.. Holding different combos of the keys that arent working yields different results, but results nonetheless, and since theres some sort of return when i hit the keys, i assume they still work but something on the computer happened. The other person who had this issue that I found gave me the idea of holding down the keys and hitting x, since he did it and had the same results.
Is there a known virus that I may have? Anyone have any idea whats going on here? So have you verified that you have no virus or other malware infections? Download and run free Malwarebytes, and see if it flags some malware. First thing to try would be to try another keyboard to rule out a defective keyboard. After that do what Tmagic suggests. I ran malwarebytes and AVG, both full scans.
Nothing was detected by malwarebytes, but i had quite a few trojans found by AVG which were taken care of i admit im not very good when it comes to scanning for trojans regulary.. After the scan I unplugged my keyboard and plugged it back in.. Sep 7, 3, 2 24, 1, Simon -- please start your own thread for your problems instead of "hijacking" someone else's -.
Apr 6, 25, , 14, It may not be a virus. It may just be a bad driver for the keyboard. Try uninstalling the keyboard driver, don't reinstall it yet, restart the computer and it should reinstall it on its own. If the driver was the issue, this should fix it. If not, then try starting up the computer in "Safe Mode" and see if you can use the keyboard fine then.
If yes, then you need to get a good antivirus program and search with that. Malwarebytes, not really serious antivirus it is more malware.
Two totally different things. How to enter "Safe Mode" when booting the computer. In Windows 8 and As your computer restarts, press F8 possibly a few times to enter "Safe Mode" a. Press the "F4" key to Enable "Safe Mode". The computer will then start in "Safe Mode" with a minimal set of drivers and services.

On the other hand a random command prompt window just opened and closed itself in a few seconds as i am typing this with the on-screen keyboard. But i tried reinstalling the drivers the way u suggested, still it didnt work. May 6, 1 0 10 0. May 14, 1 0 10 0. Jun 6, 1 0 10 0. I've been struggling for weeks with a problem with the keyboard on my pc, but only on the internet, i. The issue was mainly with digits - I would start entering them and after three or four it would start entering the wrong digit.
It would then get increasingly difficult to get the correct digit to come up: I'd often have to enter and delete each one times before the correct one would show. Once the driver has been deleted, reboot your device, and the driver should reinstall automatically.

I restarted my system yesterday and it said that windows was updated. Since then my keyboard stopped working. I tried to restart my computer but that didn't fix the problem.
The keyboard works fine in BIOS though. I also restored it to a system restore point but that didn't work either. I opened Device Manager and their it showed the keyboard's description as "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information in the registry is incomplete or damaged.
