Q: installed el capitan and the key board does not work with windows 7 in boot camp
-
Oct 18, 2015 12:16 PMby mortenfromepsom,Thanks for all your suggestions. I have tried them, but unfortunately still the same situation. Just to be clear, the keyboard works perfectly fine when using El Capitan on the same computer, it is only when rebooting using Windows 7 that the keyboard does not work.

Oct 18, 2015 11:07 PMby mortenfromepsom,I have the wireless Apple keyboard, and a Windows keyboard connected via its own USB dongle, in both cases Windows 7 ignores any of the standard keys. The Windows keyboard has other special keys for opening up mail programs etc, and Windows 7 does respond to those. When using El Capitan, both keyboards work just fine.

There are three wireless keyboards. The full Wireless original (plastic), the small wireless ( aluminum without the numeric keys), and the new Magic Keyboard. Which of the three are you using?

Can you unpair the Wireless keyboard from both OS X and Windows, pair it to Windows first, test, and then pair it to OS X second and test?

I am using the small wireless keyboard. I tried unpairing both from OS X and Windows, and pair to Windows, but after pairing (where obviously it must have recognised the numbers I keyed in), still no response in Windows unfortunately.

. Is your keyboard working now and it was not earlier?

Oct 20, 2015 9:09 AMby Loner T,What version of Bootcamp drivers are you using? Can you repair BC drivers using Boot Camp: Solve Windows support software installation problems ? Please run SMC and NVRAM Reset to test.

Nov 9, 2015 4:23 PMby strange_adge,i seem to have stumbled onto a simple solution. i downloaded the Bootcamp Support Software 5.1.5640, it didn't allow me to run the whole setup but i did just install the bluetooth and keyboard drivers. It still wasn't working so i went into Devices and Printers, right clicked properties on the apple wireless keyboard and under the services tab i ticked the box that said Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID) and it now works, Not sure if there were any superfluous steps in the process but that was how i arrived at the solution.
