class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Lenovo keyboard stops working suddenly, it\u2019s usually due to a minor error in the device\u2019s software. Hardware failure caused by dirt or debris entering the computer might suddenly cause your keyboard to fail. In some cases, you need to update your driver or operating system to get your keyboard working again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are details of some issues that may cause a dysfunctional Lenovo Windows 10 laptop keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outdated_Or_Corrupted_Device_Drivers\"><\/span><strong>Outdated Or Corrupted Device Drivers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers are software that oversees how your computer communicates with the hardware components, which is your keyboard. When there is a <strong>problem with your keyboard driver, <\/strong>it may negatively affect the functionality of your keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dirty_Keys\"><\/span><strong>Dirty Keys<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is imperative to clean your computer regularly.

If you notice some buttons on your keyboard don\u2019t respond like they should, broken or stiff, then it may be time to replace the whole keyboard<strong>.<\/strong> You can always seek the services of a licensed Lenovo technician to help you replace the hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interference_From_External_Keyboards\"><\/span><strong>Interference From External Keyboards<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using external wireless or wired keyboards, it may be interfering with the original Lenovo keyboard. Disconnect all external keyboards, if any are connected, and restart your computer to see if it works. You should generally avoid connecting multiple keyboards to your laptop if it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Fix_Lenovo_Laptop_Keyboard_Not_Working_Windows_10_Solutions\"><\/span><strong>How To Fix Lenovo Laptop Keyboard Not Working Windows 10 (Solutions)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some effective techniques to fix a faulty Lenovo keyboard on Windows 10.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/How-To-Fix-Lenovo-Laptop-Keyboard-Not-Working-Windows-10-Solutions.jpg\" alt=\"How To Fix Lenovo Laptop Keyboard Not Working Windows 10 (Solutions)\" class=\"wp-image-3066\" style=\"width:456px;height:342px\" width=\"456\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/How-To-Fix-Lenovo-Laptop-Keyboard-Not-Working-Windows-10-Solutions.jpg 910w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/How-To-Fix-Lenovo-Laptop-Keyboard-Not-Working-Windows-10-Solutions-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/How-To-Fix-Lenovo-Laptop-Keyboard-Not-Working-Windows-10-Solutions-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restart_Your_Laptop\"><\/span><strong>Restart Your Laptop<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Restarting your laptop will close all running programs and refresh your computer. As simple as it is, it\u2019s one of the most effective ways to solve fundamental issues with your computer. However, if the keyboard is not working after restarting your computer, you may consider other fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_Lenovo_Keyboard_Drivers\"><\/span><strong>Update Lenovo Keyboard Drivers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Faulty drivers are among the most common reasons for faulty keyboards on Lenovo laptops. <strong>Simply uninstall the current keyboard driver and restart your computer, and the system will automatically update the drivers to the latest version.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can manually update the driver through the device manager under the \u2018keyboards\u2019 option.

Click on \u201cthe keyboard\u201d and follow the prompts to troubleshoot the issue. If this doesn&#8217;t fix this issue, try other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_Filter_Keys\"><\/span><strong>Turn off Filter Keys<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling filter keys might be the primary reason your keyboard is not working. Consider turning off the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/using-the-shortcut-key-to-enable-filterkeys-d9202e14-4ce5-84ed-582b-68ea1538fa59\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">filter keys <\/a>feature to see if this fixes the issue with your keyboard.

Consider disconnecting the external keyboard to keep using your Lenovo laptop keyboard. You can easily uninstall the external keyboard by plugging it or removing the driver from your settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reinstall_Synaptics_Driver\"><\/span><strong>Reinstall Synaptics Driver<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still can&#8217;t figure out what went wrong with your keyboard, you may try reinstalling the Synaptics driver. To reinstall the Synaptic driver, go to your device manager from the control panel and locate the Synaptics Driver option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right-click on this option and select uninstall. Select &#8220;Scan for Hardware Changes,&#8221; and your computer will automatically search and reinstall the Synaptic driver. Restart your Lenovo laptop to see if this fixes the problem with your keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_The_Battery_And_The_Power_Cable\"><\/span><strong>Remove The Battery And The Power Cable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another helpful hack that could solve the keyboard&#8217;s not working issue is removing and reconnecting the battery and power cable. To do this, turn off your Lenovo laptop and remove the power cable and the battery. Press and hold the power button for around 60 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Re-fix the battery and plug in the power cable. Power on your laptop and use the keyboard to see if this trick solves the issue. If the problem with your keyboard is only due to a minor fault, this should solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tap_The_Problem_Keys_Diagonally\"><\/span><strong>Tap The Problem Keys Diagonally<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This trick is simple yet effective; you could use it if you know the problem keys on your keyboard.

The hack should solve the problem if it doesn&#8217;t try other DIY tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Run_The_Keyboard_Troubleshooter\"><\/span><strong>Run The Keyboard Troubleshooter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Lenovo laptop is running the latest Windows 10 version, running the Keyboard troubleshooter can help you find and fix problems with your laptop keyboard. To run a keyboard troubleshooter, go to the Windows settings app on your Lenovo laptop. Click on the Update and Security option and select Troubleshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please navigate to the keyboard option in the right section and click on it. Select \u201cRun Troubleshooter\u201d and let the computer do its job.

Go to Background Processes and find \u2018processes.\u2019 Select the Cortana process and click on End Task.
