If your mouse works, you can use the on-screen keyboard to try out different potential solutions in Windows, but I have not found any solution to this problem. I have tried to update all the bootcamp drivers, but this had no effect. I also tried to update all out-of-date drivers on windows, with no effect. I also plugged in another Windows keyboard, not through bluetooth, and again none of the keystrokes register, although the special keys for opening up mail etc works fine, so obviously the keyboard is somehow recognised by Windows.
This is incredibly frustrating.

Oct 18, 2015 9:20 AMby Treadybrek,I had this this morning, was quite a simple fix though:
- Go into Bootcamp on your Mac and download/install the latest Bootcamp drivers for Windows onto a USB.
- Restart on the Windows side, log in using the on-screen keyboard (accessible from the bottom left of the log-in screen via Ease of Access Centre icon)
- Open the USB you loaded the drivers onto, navigate to D:\Bootcamp\Setup.exe and run the file. Restart into Windows and it should be working again.
