  2. Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

    I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

  4. Start key on keyboard not working

    Keyboard keys not working

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    It must be difficult when things do not work as expected.

    If you are not able to access keyboard, I suggest you to follow the steps below:

    • Right Click on Start Menu and choose
      Control Panel
      .
    • From Control panel, choose Ease
      of Access Centre and click on
      On Screen Keyboard.
    If the keys are working fine on On Screen Keyboard,
    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard drivers and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device
    Manager”.

    2. In the list of devices, you should see the Keyboard drivers. (Expand if required).

    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan
    for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
