\n You can also manually update your keyboard driver for your\n keyboard by going to the manufacturer's website and finding the most recent\n exact driver. Be sure to select the only driver that is compatible with\n your Windows version.\n

\n we recommend using, Driver Easy If you are not comfortable\n playing with device drivers. It will automatically verify your system and\n find the right drivers for it. You don't need to know what system your\n computer is running on, you don't have to risk downloading and installing\n the wrong driver, and you don't have to worry about making a mistake while\n installing.\n

\n Note:\n You can do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.\n

\n Method 5: Try this fix if you are using a USB keyboard\n
