Question 1

My Enter, Backspace, and Spacebar keys are not working on Windows 11. What should I do to fix this issue?

Accepted Answer

You can try our troubleshooting methods explained above to fix the unresponsive Enter, Backspace, and Spacebar keys.

First, you should try disabling the Sticky Keys and Filter Keys at Windows 11 Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard.

If that doesn’t work, you can try updating your keyboard drivers using Device Manager or reinstall the drivers completely.

You can also run the built-in Windows 11 keyboard troubleshooter to identify and resolve any software-related problems.

If the problem persists, check for new Windows updates and install new updates if available.

Also, clean your keyboard to remove any debris, and try connecting the keyboard to another Windows 11 device to understand if it’s a hardware or software problem.

If everything fails, consider resetting your PC while keeping your files to resolve all software issues.

Question 2

My keyboard keys are not functioning properly even after updating the drivers. What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

If updating the keyboard drivers didn’t fix the problem, then you can try reinstalling the keyboard drivers.

To do this, go to Device Manager and expand the Keyboards section. Now right-click on your keyboard driver and choose Uninstall device.

After uninstalling the drivers, restart your computer and then connect your keyboard again. This will automatically install the keyboard drivers again.

Question 3

The Windows 11 troubleshooter couldn't find any issues with my keyboard

Accepted Answer

If the Windows 11 troubleshooter can not find any software issues, consider checking for Windows updates.

Go to Windows Update settings from Start Menu and click on the “Check for updates” button.

Installing the latest updates may resolve any software-related problems. Additionally, you can physically clean your keyboard by removing keycaps and cleaning the insides to improve key travel and avoid any blockages that could be causing the problem.

Question 4

Should I buy a new keyboard if the keys are still not working after trying all the troubleshooting methods?

Accepted Answer

If any of the keyboard keys are still not working after trying all the troubleshooting steps we provided above. And if the keyboard starts working properly when connected to another Windows 11 device, then the issue might be with your computer or laptop.

If keys are still not working even after connecting to a different device, then it is clear that the problem is within the keyboard. In such cases, it is always advisable to purchase a new keyboard.
