Laptop keyboard works in BIOS but not in Windows

My laptop keyboard works perfectly in the BIOS and in Windows recovery environments, but it stops working completely once Windows fully boots up. I have already tried updating and reinstalling the keyboard drivers, checking device manager for hidden devices, and scanning for hardware changes.

    Your keyboard working in BIOS and recovery mode suggests hardware is fine; the problem is likely software-related. Performing a clean boot or restoring default drivers often resolves such conflicts.
