From one day to another my keyboard is not inputting to imac. I can't get machine to boot in safe mode, but have gotten it to boot as guest and am now updating to Monterey 12.6.1
I have tried - hard wiring mouse (old one) using mouse with batteries, and using my regular magic mouse. I can move the cursor, but I not input when typing. It worked fine yesterday!!
Has anyone run into this before? Bluetooth is recognizing my Powerbeats earbuds.
Weird.

Update: After installing update 12.6.1 - everything works again. It bricked my keyboard. Mouse worked fine, not bluetooth for magic mouse, even hardwired keyboard no input. Weird. Update. Box wouldn't even boot in safe mode, had to log in as guest even to upgrade.
Resolved
