If your keyboard input is not working when trying to type your login PIN on a Windows PC, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue. Here are some methods to try:
Restart Your Computer:
- Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary hardware or software issues that might be causing the keyboard to malfunction.
Check Keyboard Connections:
- If you are using an external keyboard, ensure that it is properly connected to your computer. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in, or try a different USB port.
- If it's a wireless keyboard, check the batteries, make sure it's turned on, and confirm that the receiver is correctly connected and recognized by your computer.
- You are trying to insert a PIN not a password. A PIN is all made of numbers. There is nothing wrong with the keyboard.
- Connect the keyboard with another USB port.
- 1.Check Keyboards:
If you're using an external keyboard, ensure it is properly connected (USB or Bluetooth).
Try using a different keyboard to see if the issue persists.
If using a laptop keyboard, make sure it is not disabled.
2.Restart the Device:
Restart your computer or device. This can often resolve temporary glitches. - OP, did you find the right answer to this question?
- If you're using a physical keyboard, try tapping each key gently to ensure they're not stuck or jammed. This might sound silly, but it's a common issue!
- The cursor might not be focused on the password field, causing your input to be ignored. Try clicking on the password field to give it focus.
