Methods of Updating the HID Keyboard
When you see some key not working on Laptop HP or your PC, you have to update the driver. Now, you can settle for updating it manually or automatically. Here, we will discuss both of the methods so that you can work with them according to your convenience.
Manually Updating HID Keyboard
Step 1: Search for Device Manager
Keyboard Method
First of all, you have to search for Device Manager and open it. Go through the Keyboard and press the Windows logo and the R key together. This will bring the run box on the screen.
In the Run box, you have to take the cursor to the typing space and there, type devmgmt.msc. After tying, click OK.
Note: This method will only work if the keyboard works properly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to type. In that case, you have to settle for the next method.
Windows 10 Method
If you are a user of Windows 10, and you see the USB keyboard driver Windows 10 not working, this method will work for you only. You have to go to the Start menu first. There is a Windows System folder available. All you need is to find that and expand it. From there, you can easily get into Control Panel. You have to do all this work with your mouse!
Yes, your work here is the same. You have to get into the Device Manager. But as you don’t have a working keyboard, you cannot command with it. So, your only option is the mouse. With the mouse, you have to search for the icons in the Control Panel. There, you will find the Device Manager listen. Go for it.
Windows 7 Method
The previous method won’t work if you are using Windows 7. If you have this Windows, you will tell you another method that works fine. First, go to the Start menu of your Windows 7. There the Control Panel option will be available already on the right side. Press it.
