Keyboard Driver Error Windows 10

[Christopher]

thanks for your quick reply IIIaass. I have downloaded all the windows support drivers from bootcamp assistant but nothing seems to be working, reinstalled, repaired the drivers etc. it says 'driver error' could you send a link to correct driver for wireless keyboard. Maybe, it is the driver!

I installed bootcamp the both to a mac mini, and everything works fine there (wireless keyboard too), but for the installation onto a macpro late 2013 everything works fine, WI-FI, GPU, wireless mouse, BT, etc. all of the drivers are OK, with the exception of the wireless keyboard where the bluetooth manager says: Driver Error.

You have to go to "Device Manager" (right click on Start: Device Manager option), at the HID leaf (that stands open 'cause of a driver error), simply uninstall and delete the wrong driver. Magically everything works fine, and the wireless keyboard will be reported on the Keyboards leaf of the Device Manager.

This didn't work for me. I have exactly the same problem. It says "driver error" for the keyboard, while the magic mouse works fine. If I delete the driver, it shows a "System Administrator's Keyboard" is connected with bluetooth, but the keyboard still doesn't work.

Instead of trying the workarounds, a professional driver updater will reinstall your keyboard driver or, even better, all your corrupted drivers. They all deserve this special treatment since no driver problem can remain unnoticed for too long.

The only thing I can think of is that this model of Dell Precision was not tested in the Fall Creator update back in OCT17 by Dell. Drivers were not updated, so either some other driver might work or there is no telling if something could hose the drivers all together. It also could be possible that Windows 10 is not supported for this machine all together.

Another possibility is that someone could have plugged something into the USB ports causing Windows to flake out for I/O device drivers. I did one more test and was able to read/write a flash drive, but not a desktop scanner or other brand/model keyboard and mouse.

I was having this same issue, just with a different model of keyboard/mouse (Dell machine and wireless keyboard/mouse combo) and after uninstalling the KB4074588 update like michellelieske suggested, the issue was resolved. I was able to remote into the machines and uninstall that way. My best guess is that it was a registry change made by the patch that caused the issue.

The issue was that most USB devices would not be recognized, as well as the touch screen would not work. The USB devices would return a code 28. For example, plugging in a mouse would cause the red light on it to appear for several seconds before turning off. I had tried disabling selective suspend by editing the registry and a lot of other unsuccessful items.

Go to the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon. Restart the Laptop.

I have four USB ports on this desktop that are full functional with every USB drive, dvd/cd drive and mouse I have attached to the desktop. But, only partially function keyboards when connect to desktop.

I would request you to contact our Support and our Support Engineers should be able to Remote into your computer and sort this out. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

Upon imaging a Surface Laptop 2 with our basic image from the older Surface laptop model the Surface Hid Mini Driver driver fails to power and thus the keyboard doesn't work. if I revert back to 03/27/2017 driver it works fine... but then the laptop automatically updates itself to the latest version that brakes again. I have blocked the update in WSUS.

Is anybody aware of a fix for the latest driver? Does the PC somehow think its a Surface Laptop 1st gen and somehow downloading the incorrect driver possibly? I also downloaded the latest firmware/driver package from MS and tried that version and it also doesn't work. Seems to be the same exact version that gets downloaded from Windows Update.

@WC_KStil did you ever get the specific version of the driver that works? I keep running into this issue every update cycle. I have a surface laptop 2 and the "Surface Hid Mini Driver" flakes out every update. I've tried the all of the drivers from Download Surface Laptop 2 Drivers and Firmware from Official Microsoft Download Center :

I've tried uninstalling the driver and re-installing but that never seems to work, even disabling the driver and re-enabling doesn't work. I'm not sure what happens in UEFI entry, but that seems to make it work again for me. Beware - your mileage may vary!!! This seems to be a very common issue but different tasks seem to work for different people. I sure hope Microsoft can fix this as it is a pain as it usually happens when I really need to get some work done!

Sign in and select Surface Laptop 2 and input your Surface's serial number. Click on Download and Save it to your desktop. Do not download the Recovery Image directly on the USB drive but on the Downloads folder on the computer.

@GBowlsby - this worked perfectly. Frustratingly, I'd foolishly listened to other ideas with consequences that'll now cost me even more time (somehow our AI/ML needs to intercept bad or half-arse solutions with ones that actually work :)) Regardless to my live 'en learn: Thanks!

You can update your drivers automatically with either the 7 days free trial or the Pro version of Driver Easy. It takes just 2 clicks, and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee with the Pro version:

Updating software usually helps the system stability and optimization, so at this point, if your keyboard still refuses to work, please also make sure that your computer BIOS is updated to the latest version.

I have the Magic Keyboard working with my Windows 10 system. Download the latest Windows Drivers from the Apple Support site (Downloads: Windows drivers) and you should be able to install the keyboard driver from the zip file.

In my case, when I would go in Bluetooth & other devices on Windows 10 and click on Add Bluetooth or other devices, I would eventually see my Magic Keyboard with Touch ID appearing, but when I would select it, I would get an error message saying: "Try connecting your device again". What solved the issue for me, was to update my Bluetooth drivers using the ones provided by Intel here: -wireless-bluetooth-for-windows-10-and-windows-11.html.

I recently updated to Windows 10 anniversary update and recentlly noticed the PS/2 Keyboard has stopped working in Windows 10 apps such as the settings menu and the start menu. Desktop apps and control panel work fine including shortcuts buttons such as volume up, web browser etc.

The default driver installed seems to be Lenovo ThinkPad driver PS/2 keyboard (which the keyboard Is not). I uninstalled the driver, un-plugged keyboard and tried changing the driver to the standard driver and HID keyboard driver with no luck.

None of the answers worked for me, so I simply opened Task Manager, killed explorer.exe (Task Manager - Details - locate explorer.exe and kill it) and run it again (Task Manager - File - Run new task - type "explorer").

The general idea of the software is that the right half of the keyboard connects to the computer as a bluetooth device, and the left half sends signals straight to the right half that are translated into keycodes.

The keyboard works perfectly on my Linux laptop, my Windows 10 desktop, and my Android phone. When I try to use it on my Windows 10 laptop however, the left half of the keyboard only works for a few seconds and then stops. When I boot the same laptop to a live Linux distro, both halves of the keyboard work again. This makes me believe that it must be a driver issue on the Windows 10 laptop.

I have tried updating the drivers on the laptop, but they seem to be completely up to date. Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could change in the code that might fix the issue? Or do I just need to wait for Microsoft to churn out new drivers? I've put a lot of effort into the keyboard and would like to be able to use it on my main laptop.

It's difficult for me to say what is going wrong when trying to connect to your Dell laptop. If you have another DK at hand you could try to take a sniffer trace to see what is happening over the air and if the laptop is doing something differently from your windows desktop. This can help you to narrow down the issue.

Thanks for the reply! I don't actually have any of the DKs, as the keyboard I'm using just has the core board SMD soldered to it. By using a sniffer do you mean using the nRF connect app? I tried using the Bluetooth Low Energy app in nRF Connect v2.6.1 and got the following error:

A sniffer trace will show you what is happening in the air and which packets are send and received. You could use the nRF Sniffer for instance, but you'll need to have a DK.

For using the Bluetooth low energy app in the nRF connect app you also will need external hardware (DK).

I did some digging in Devzone and since it seems like a Bluetooth Low Energy Windows 10 driver issue you could try to install the latest Windows 10 version and see if that helps, see this case here -q-a/40874/windows-10-driver-error-with-ble-hid-devices

Regards,

I have the same problem. I have been using my K380 with my Mac, iPad, and work win10 laptop for a couple of years. On Friday I had a problem with my win10 BT connection and removed the keyboard, headphones and mouse. They all re-paired successfully except the keyboard. I have restarted the laptop no to avail. The keyboard is fine with my Mac and iPad.
