Keyboard Not Working & Touchpad Not Working?

Description:

If your laptop keyboard or touchpad has stopped working after upgrading to Windows 11 (or after a recent system update), this video takes you through the essential troubleshooting steps to get things back to normal. You’ll learn how to check device settings, update or roll back drivers, reinstall input device software, and restore keyboard/touchpad functionality — all without needing to visit a repair shop.

In the tutorial you’ll find clear instructions and quick fixes such as:

• Verifying the keyboard/touchpad is enabled in Settings.

• Checking Device Manager for driver errors and updating or reinstalling drivers.

• Using Windows Recovery or rollback features if the latest driver update caused the issue.

• Adjusting BIOS/UEFI settings in case your input devices are disabled at the hardware level.

• Additional tips for maintaining smooth input device operation after system updates.

Why this matters:

Updating your OS should introduce new features and better stability, but sometimes system updates can disrupt peripheral hardware — especially built-in keyboards and touchpads on laptops. Having a simple, trustworthy guide means you avoid the frustration of being unable to type or control your cursor and spend less time guessing what went wrong.

Want to follow along?

Be sure your laptop meets the following prerequisites:

• It is running Windows 11 or a fresh update thereof.

• You still have some input method (e.g., USB mouse or external keyboard) available for navigating if your built-in devices are unresponsive.

• You’re comfortable going into Settings or Device Manager — but don’t worry, the video walks you through every step.
