How do I fix my laptop keyboard not working on windows 11? It just randomly stopped working a few months ago but usb keyboards work fine any solutions? I dont think its hardware related as the combination for changing/switching the led backlight works completely fine but nothing else does. I dont know if Im in the right place this is my first time here.

The same thing is happening to me but literally nothing is working, not commands, not typing, not anything. My computer Is very new and is the newest version, and nothing has gone wrong before this

How can you use the keys you suggest if the keyboard doesn't work. Wanna tell us how to do that?
@ RobertEnnis
As I wrote on the first page of this thread...
By using a USB keyboard as mentioned in the original post.
Also posted in this thread, turn on the On-Screen Keyboard.
Try the instructions here
https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-on-screen-keyboard-in-windows-11.7255/
to turn on the on screen keyboard. There are several methods. One of them should work for you.
