Windows XP - keyboard not responding
I found old CPU in the basement and its having Windows XP. (in the BIOS Keyboard is working.) On login screen it, keyboard was not working. Then I 1) tried in the safe mode, command prompt mod...
Three solutions:
Method 1: Restart the computer → Try PS/2 interface keyboard or replace the USB interface
Method 2: Repair the driver (administrator run the)
cmd
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt.msc # Uninstall all gray keyboard devices → scan for hardware changes
Method 3: Use WinPE boot disk to reinstall the system after backing up the data (XP is no longer supported, upgrade is recommended).
