Keyboard not working Windows 7 [solved]

Q. My keyboard just stopped working and I have tried plugging in other USB keyboards to no avail 🙁 any suggestions? -Steve

A. Check and see if ‘Filter Keys’ is enabled! Use your mouse to:

  • Click the Start Button
  • Select ‘Control Pane’
  • Select ‘East of Access’
  • Select ‘Easy of Access Center’
  • Select ‘Make the keyboard easier to use’
  • Uncheck the ‘Turn on Filter Keys’ box
Make sure the Filter Keys checkbox is unchecked

Make sure the Filter Keys checkbox is unchecked

Hopefully that will help 🙂

Followup from Steve:
