MacBook Pro Keyboard doesn't work in Windows 8

Thanks for the response, but unfortunately I currently can't install anything. When I boot into Windows, I'm stuck at the login screen. I need to enter my password, however I am unable to because the built-in keyboard does not work. I even tried a wired keyboard and that doesn't work either. It detects caps lock if I turn that on. It doesn't make any sense to me. I went through the install and used the keyboard to type in settings with no problem. Now, nothing.

Somehow when I boot up now, I can type. Not sure how that happened. Anyway, I did install trackpadd++ so my trackpad works now. I ran a repair on my boot camp drivers so hopefully that'll solve it.

Unfortunately, my problem persists. I was able to remove the password from my account so I can boot up and get into Windows with no problem. About 7 times out of 10 the keyboard fails to load, resulting in no use of the keyboard at all. I went against my better judgement by installing Wndows 8. I guess I should have waited until Apple officially supported it. :-/

I decided to check on uptes for third party software that ran on startup. The only third party app that ran on startup was Dropbox. There was a minor update to it, so Iupdated. While I love Dropbox's "quite" updating system, it's just a little too slow my liking. Anyway, since that update all has been working well. I'll keep you posted if it happens again. I've had three successful boots in a row since updating.

About 9 times out of 10, the keyboard wouldn't work. The 1 time that it did, I logged in and removed the password. Updating Dropbox seemed to solve my issue and it had been fine for over a month. However, over this past weekend I decided to install the new Trackpad++ drivers to enable gestures in Win 8. After installing PowerPlan and then Trackpad++, everything was working ok. I decided at this point, I would set a password for the account again. Once I did that, I was back to having keyboard problems again. When I finially was able to get in, I removed the password. Upon a reboot, the keyboard didn't work. I removed PowerPlan and Trackpad++, still didn't work. I uninstalled Dropbox...still didn't work. I disabled all 3rd party startup applications, and it still didn't work. I got fed up, and last night I wiped out Win 8 and reloaded Win 7. I'll wait until Apple officially supports it, and even after that, I'll give it some time before upgrading again.

I will note that when I upgraded to Win 8, I did not do a clean install. I didn't want to go through the hassle of reloading software and setting up the OS again. Maybe a clean install would have been better. I was at the point of frustration where I didn't even care to find out and I was just going to go back to Win 7.

Sorry that I'm no help. If you figure anything out, let me know.

Are you going to do a clean install of Win 8? If so, let me know how it goes.

This seems like an odd issue. I am still going to continue using Win 7 until Apple updates their drivers to make them fully compatible with Win 8. And even when that happens, I'll still wait a few days afterward and make sure there are no problems.
