Wireless keyboard doesn't work in Windows!!

Wireless keyboard works fine in Lion system, but I cant unpair it in Lion system since it is undetectable. After installing Windows 7 through boot camp, the wireless keyboard is not working. I think it is some kind of driver problem. Can someone help me solve this problem? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi JPasHPCust,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on having trouble utilizing your wireless keyboard to the desktop, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
To start off, I will need to know what the Product and Model Number is for your desktop. I will also need to know if your wired keyboard is capable of functioing in a different USB port or not.
Please follow this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. If you still cannot use the wireless keyboard, try booting your computer in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps to boot in Windows 8 Safe Mode.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work

    I am running Boot Camp w/Windows XP Service Pack 3. I cannot ever connect my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in Windows. The mouse seems to work OK but the keyboard just doesn't work. Is there a way to get this working?

  • Wireless keyboard no longer working in Windows

    I just replaced the batteries in my wirless keyboard.  I am running Windows 7 through Bootcamp.  Since changing the batteries, the keyboard will not work in the Windows partition; however, it is working fine in the OSX partition.  I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to correct this.  I am of an advanced age and am technologically challenged.  Thanks so much!

    This may be just a Boot Camp issue, if no one here can help you may also want to post in the Boot Camp forum.

  • New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

    I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
    I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
    I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
    During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
    I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
    After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • G62-340US keyboard doesn't work in Windows, only during boot

    My HPG62-340US is running Windows 7 64-bit and I have been having an unusual issue with it.
    The keyboard works during the boot process. I can enter BIOS, etc  and use the laptop keyboard - but when Windows loads, the laptop keyboard becomes inoperative. The touch pad works OK, and the lights work on the keyboard, but the keyboard does not respond when you press any key.
    I can attach a USB keyboard, which will work OK. When I press the "caps lock" on the USB keyboard, the light comes on the "caps lock" on the laptop keyboard, but the laptop keyboard does not work. It also will not work in safe mode.
    I reinstalled Windows, hoping that would correct the problem, but it did not.
    Help!

    About 9 times out of 10, the keyboard wouldn't work.  The 1 time that it did, I logged in and removed the password.  Updating Dropbox seemed to solve my issue and it had been fine for over a month.  However, over this past weekend I decided to install the new Trackpad++ drivers to enable gestures in Win 8.  After installing PowerPlan and then Trackpad++, everything was working ok.  I decided at this point, I would set a password for the account again.  Once I did that, I was back to having keyboard problems again.  When I finially was able to get in, I removed the password.  Upon a reboot, the keyboard didn't work.  I removed PowerPlan and Trackpad++, still didn't work.  I uninstalled Dropbox...still didn't work.  I disabled all 3rd party startup applications, and it still didn't work.  I got fed up, and last night I wiped out Win 8 and reloaded Win 7.  I'll wait until Apple officially supports it, and even after that, I'll give it some time before upgrading again. 
    I will note that when I upgraded to Win 8, I did not do a clean install.  I didn't want to go through the hassle of reloading software and setting up the OS again.  Maybe a clean install would have been better.  I was at the point of frustration where I didn't even care to find out and I was just going to go back to Win 7.
    Sorry that I'm no help. If you figure anything out, let me know.

  • Wireless keyboard doesn't work after latest security update

    Hi,
    I update MacOS 10.6.7 with latest security update and my wirelles keyboard is connected, but keys not work, capslock light doesn't change. I try charge battery, then I replace new battery, but it has no effect. I connect keyboard to another Mac with Leopard system and there's no problem... There's some solution? Thanks

    Try repairing permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
    There select First Aid.  After that select the hard drive within Disk Utility's window.  Finally click on the button that says Repair Permissions.  A reboot may be necessary to finish the work when it is done.
    Ignore any errors reported.

  • Keyboard doesn't work in windows using bootcamp

    Hi exerybody!
    I'm running Win XP SP2 on my iMac, using Bootcamp. I have just recently installed 10.4.11 and some Security updates. Beside this, I've installed the new apple alu keyboard, using AppleKeyboardSoftware (Apple download page). The windows installation has not been changed for about 2 mounths now.
    MAC OS just works perfectly well.
    The problem occurs after I have selected the windows partition for booting. At first everything seems to be normal, but when windows shows the login screen nothing works anymore. Neither the keyboard, nor the mouse shows any reaction. I have tried several other keyboards and mice but just the same result. Interestingly yesterday everything just worked normally.
    I really hope somebody can help me with this problem!
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Wireless router doesn't work with Windows 8

    Does anyone have experience with attempted installs of wireless routers using windows 8? I have tried to install three devices but they will not install for windows 8 and I can't find a single one that is. I don't need the internet just a router for my home wireless. Printer, mp3, etc. If you look at all of the Linksys specs online, none of them say they are compatible with windows 8 just up to 7. I have tried to install two Linksys routers and two Belkin routers and none of them will install due to windows 8 being my OS. I use a verizon hotspot for my 4g internet.

    To sfd1117:
    I am able to see your post in this thread: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Social-Media-Support/Facebook-com-WRT110-Internet-access-problem/m-p.... I’ve posted a reply but let me post it here:
    If other devices are connecting without any problem through the router then the problem might be on the new laptop. First thing that you can try is check if the laptop can detect other wireless networks. If it can, try connecting to the other network. If it’s able to connect then it must have something to do with the wireless settings of the router. If it can’t then the problem might be on the built in wireless card of that laptop. Before calling the laptop manufacturer though, you can still try changing a setting (channel) on the router and see if the windows 8 laptop will be able to connect. For instructions, refer to this link: Changing the Wireless Channel on a Linksys Router.
    By the way, what is the model number of your router?

  • Wireless keyboard doesn't work after repair.

    It was a bunch of other troubles that lead to this point.
    Macally external wouldn't pic up by firewire. Used Bluetooth keyboard to browse web for help.
    Downloaded from Macally's site 'Firewire Enabler' using option+click since safari disabled my regular click and download method
    followed instructions for install of 'Firewire Enabler'(put it in the extensions folder).
    Crash On startup with an error and grey restart screen of destruction.
    Installed OSX on another drive, keyboard wouldn't pic up..... went for a wireless usb gateway keyboard
    located the 'Firewire Enabler' file and deleted it.
    Restarted system and booted back from old drive.
    Locate USB something error,
    Bluetooth keyboard neither lights up when turned on nor connects....
    what do?

    Hello:
    I have no clue what you have done, but you seem to have piled things on top of one another.
    I would probably start over. Your profile indicates you are running an older version of OS X. (10.4). If that is the case, I would do an archive and install (after uninstalling whatever third party stuff you have added).

  • Apple wireless keyboard isn't working on fresh Windows 7 Boot Camp except in safe mode

    OK so yesterday I decided to reinstall Windows 7 to my mid 2011 27 inch iMac. I've had Windows 7 on it for a couple years but it got so bogged down that I wanted to start from scratch. However once I finished installing all of the Boot Camp 5.0 drivers from Apple the wireless keyboard stopped working. I'm not sure if the Magic Mouse would work because I use a wired Razer mouse which works fine and I don't feel like digging it out. I know that the keyboard can work becase I'm useing it to type this right now in Windows safe mode but when I boot Windows normally (Without holding F8) the keyboard doesn't work at all. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know as I've tried for at least 4 hours to get it to work with no luck. I tried reseting the NVRAM and PRAM, reinstalling the apple drivers, removing and resyncing the keyboard in both OSX and Windows 7. If anyone has a solution for this please let me know.

    Even after all of your suggestions, as well as Apple Care's (I have a case # and everything), I still get random freezes either before, during, or after log-in. The latest futile attemps including complete removal of the Citrix software, and creation of a new user account.
    Thanks also to all of you, I know I'm not alone:

    (and more I can't get to because of the freezing problem!)
    Feedback submitted... Apple had best address this issue IMMEDIATELY. It is embarassing to have to use either my Windows PC at work, or my 4-year-old G4 iMac at home, because my new $2000+ iMac occasionally turns into an aluminum-and-glass paperweight.

  • Can't set up windows on bootcamp, keyboard doesn't work

    okay, i wait through the agony of the windows install non-sense, and it comes up to the part where i have to set up windows (name, accounts, etc.). But when i go to enter all my info, my keyboard doesn't work, or my mouse for that matter. I have a 24" iMac with the wireless keyboard and mouse. I don't know what to do!

    Jay:
    Below is excerpt I took from [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461] which mandates using an internal keyboard or a USB keyboard/mouse to install Windows via boot camp.
    Requirements
    To use Boot Camp, you need:
    1. *An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.*
    2. Mac OS X 10.5 or later
    3. The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
    4. At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
    5. A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
    Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2.
    6. Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).

  • Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

    Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
    Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
    Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
    Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
    Soultion : Please follow steps below
    Step 1: Start > run > regedit
    Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
    Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
    Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
    This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!
