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.

  • 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 no longer working with boot camp Windows 7

    Hi,
    I've had Boot Camp installed for about half a year now with no problems.
    Yesterday my wireless keyboard stopped working with it, it also appears that bluetooth isn't in the device manager or in the control panel,  it could no linger detect either my magic mouse or keyboard despite having fresh new batteries. They do however still work with my Mac OSX partition. It also lets me hold down alt to choose which OS to boot into on startup however when it gets to the log in screen for windows the keyboard stopped working.
    I've tried unpairing them in OSX then trying it in Windows but like I said bluethooth doesnt even appear to be there and it wont detect them. I've also tried reinstalling the apple drivers twice, still doesn't work.
    If it helps I have a early 2011 iMac 21.5inch and it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

    After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
    When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
    The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
    I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
    My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
    Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    And yes I checked the batteries.

  • 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..!!

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

    Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work in Vista Ultmate?

    Please kindly help! Thanks a lot.

  • The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on Bluetooth and paired it.  What else is there to do?

    The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2.  I turned on bluetooth and paired the device.  What other hidden step is there to do?

    Well, the tiny green light comes on and blinks. . . After a frustrating time, I turned everything off.  Later, when I tried the keyboard again, it worked.  I guess the bluetooth process takes longer than expected.  So thank you for taking the time to help a technically impaired person!!

  • The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer scroll.

    The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer respond or scroll. They will page down with the fn/command key, but do not respond by themselves. How can I fix this? This is with an iMac, 10.7.5. Thanks..

    I'm having similar issues with the wireless keyboard, the brightness buttons aren't working and Apple can't seem to fix the issue. They replaced the keyboard for me and the initially worked but now they aren't and this was replaced today.
    Can you please let me know how you fixed the f1 and f2 keys? Everything else works for me...

  • Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working - changed batteries still did not help

    Hi
    I have an Envy 20 all in one touchscreen with a wireless keyboard which has been absolutley fantastic until now.  The wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working while composing an email.  I replaced the batteries and checked them with a volt meter to ensure 1.5v. They are a name brand alkiline battery.  I tried re-booting the computer and pressing the blue connect button under the keyboard.  The only keys that seem to work are the volume up/down and mute; the rest of teh keyboard does not.  Any idea?  I like the factory keyboard so I am hoping it is not a faulty keyboard.  After market keyboards will use a USB port.
    Thanks

  • Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

    My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.  While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine.  When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working.  The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys.  I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work.  After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working.  This will continue to occur at irregular intervals.  Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur.  Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
    If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
    Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
    Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

  • Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)

    Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
    I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
    Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Olaf

    Most untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
    It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
    Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
    When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000!
