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.

    On screen keyboard.

    That can sometimes help even if it is the beginning of the circuits going as things may progress so keys repeat but usually for me the USB keyboard starts to do that and at that point that's why extended warranties exist.

    Keyboard issues are annoying and a seeming increasing constant for me so the OS Keyboard and I spend way too much time typing slowly sigh.

    Can't type because keyboard isn't working so this solution is not useful.

    Turn on the On-screen keyboard. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-the-on-screen-keyboard-osk-to-type-ecbb5e08-5b4e-d8c8-f794-81dbf896267

    or connect a USB keyboard.
