It’s bound to happen eventually. You’re in the middle of important work when your mouse and keyboard suddenly stop working on Windows. What do you do? Panic? Scream? Have a drink?
Don’t call in a technician yet. There are a few basic steps you can take to fix the problem on your own. In this post, we’ll share some tricks you can try yourself to get your mouse and keyboard working again.
Reboot The Computer
Have you tried restarting the computer? Sometimes users get overwhelmed when faced with computer issues that they forget about the most obvious solution.
So take a minute to reboot your PC before doing anything else.
- If you can’t move your mouse, you can shut down your computer by pressing വിൻഡോസ് + X നിങ്ങളുടെ കീബോർഡിൽ
- ഇത് കൊണ്ടുവരും ആരംഭിക്കുക menu. Go to ഷട്ട് ഡൗൺ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ സൈൻ ഔട്ട് ചെയ്യുക > പുനരാരംഭിക്കുക അമ്പടയാള കീകൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച്.
- Or you can select ആൾട്ട് + F4 to bring out the ഷട്ട് ഡൌണ് window and use the arrow keys to select പുനരാരംഭിക്കുക.
A Temporary Keyboard
If restarting the computer doesn’t work and your keyboard has stopped working, you’ll need a temporary one that works. Fortunately, Windows has a built-in keyboard for such an occasion.
- ദി ഓൺ-സ്ക്രീൻ കീബോർഡ് (OSK) can be accessed by going to Windows സജ്ജീകരണങ്ങൾ > ഈസ് ഓഫ് അക്സസ് > കീബോര്ഡ്.
- കീഴെ Use Your Device Without a Physical Keyboard, സ്വിച്ചുചെയ്യുക Use the On-Screen Keyboard ലേക്ക് On സ്ഥാനം.

- This will open the OSK. Use your mouse to type or navigate through Windows as you search for a more permanent fix.
അടിസ്ഥാന പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
- First, check your mouse and keyboard cables. Are they disconnected? Are they showing signs of wear and tear? Have they been dislodged from their designated ports?
- If you’re using a wireless mouse or keyboard, have you tried replacing the batteries? Have you checked if your Bluetooth connection is still active? Those who are using external Bluetooth transmitters should see if that is causing the issue.
- You can try plugging in a different keyboard and mouse. If your computer does not respond to any keyboard or mouse, you might be having a software problem instead.
Update Your Driver
Updating a device driver can potentially fix a problematic keyboard or mouse.
- ഉപയോഗം തിരയൽ to find and open ഉപകരണ മാനേജർ.

The Keyboard Troubleshooter
Windows has a troubleshooter feature that deals with the nastiest of bugs and errors. It can also work out USB keyboard issues on your behalf.
- പോകുക Windows സജ്ജീകരണങ്ങൾ > അപ്ഡേറ്റും സുരക്ഷയും > ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ട് ചെയ്യുക. താഴെ Find and Fix Other Problems, തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക കീബോര്ഡ്.
- ക്ലിക്ക് ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടർ പ്രവർത്തിപ്പിക്കുക.
- Windows will go on to find issues with your keyboard.
- If it finds an issue, just follow the on-screen commands so it can resolve the problem. If it cannot find anything, you will be shown a message that says so.
- If successful, the troubleshooter should make your keyboard work again.
മൗസ് പ്രോപ്പർട്ടികൾ
Sometimes, the USB mouse isn’t necessarily broken. The settings just need to be updated.
- തുറക്കുക നിയന്ത്രണ പാനൽ. പോകുക ഹാർഡ്വെയറും ശബ്ദവും > ഡിവൈസുകളും പ്രിന്ററുകളും > മൗസ്.
- Here you’ll find a number of mouse properties that can impact its performance. You can make changes to your mouse buttons, pointers, pointer options, wheel, and hardware.
- Configure your mouse to your liking. If you find your mouse speed to be slow, for example, open the പോയിന്റർ ഓപ്ഷനുകൾ tab and select a more acceptable speed by moving the slider around.
Hopefully, one of these mouse options will correct any of the perceived mouse errors.
