I'd be curious too. A lot of people who use USB keyboards and mice have this issue. I go around it by using a PS-2 Keyboard to get into windows, and then windows loads the USB drivers. It's quite possible you were able to log in and Windows automatically downloaded the drivers.Many new systems don't have a PS-2 port, but they are included for problems just like this on most new machines, they usually have one PS-2 port that can be used for KB or Mouse in case Windows does not have a native driver on hand for the USB devices.

Hi I just updated to Windows 10 today and my laptop keyboard would not respond, nor would my mouse touch pad.

• Ps2 Usb Port Not Working

Its simple really. I recently had the same problem. Beacause ists an olf interface the ps/2 keyboard does not permit hot plug. So basically, you just need to power off your computer.REMOVE THE POWER CABLE, and that is the most important part, and the plug in your ps/2 keyboard. Now plug the cable back in, power it on and is should work just fine. PS2 mouse & keyboard not working 1- run regedit THEN FOLLOW THIS PATH HKEYLOCALMACHINE - SYSTEM - CurrentControlSet - Services - i8042prt -(change the value of START from 3 to 1) after restart.

I do use an external wireless mouse which did not have this issue luckily. Anyway I contacted a friend who works on my computer and here is what we did.

I went to control panel, Then device manager, then keyboards, Click on keyboard and then double click on your keyboard. This brings up a screen with your keyboard properties. On this screen, select the driver tab. Click on uninstall near the bottom. Verify the uninstall and then you will need to restart your computer. Once I restarted somehow it automatically detected the driver for my keyboard and reinstalled it. After that it has worked fine.

Just to confirm that if your mouse or keyboard is a usb wireless device and over 5 years old it may not be compatible with windows 10 and will function erratically IE it will work one minute and not the next and is mainly Logitech mice and keyboards that are affectedMy own personal findings are that it is not driver related at all and for me a complete mystery when all other mice and keyboards from Microsoft function spot oni should also add that xp /vista/windows 7 /8.1 are not affected by this problem. I continue to experience issues with the external mouse and keyboard (lenovo wireless)So frustrating! It is as though the mouse gets captured. Intermittent responsiveness and then freezing up. Timed games continue to count off seconds so I can never win on that level anymore.

I have tried all the fixes in this thread. Drivers are up-to-date, etc. I am very close to ditching the whole thing and converting to Apple!Well It seems like Windows 10 only acts this way on certain machines. I've installed it on many different machines with No Problem then all of a sudden Bang.

One will do this.I think it might have something to do with older machines For some reason windows 10 doesn't like them. Sorry to hear that your still having problem.Dexatron. I was able to resolve my issue. I started the computer and when Windows started to load, I interrupted power (did not shut off the computer using the start button, but physically unplugged it). If you are working with a laptop, you may have to pull the battery first. Then I did it a second time. After the second time, Windows booted in recovery mode.

From there, I was able to do a system restore. Now my mouse and keyboard are working again. However, I'm afraid of what Windows 10 is going to do next. I have already had a number of issues with Windows 10 malfunctioning and am very frustrated by its fragility.

I'm crossing my fingers.I tried this on one PC, but I don't have keyboard or mouse to select the restore functions, I have no idea what else to try.I use usb keyboard a nd mouse, tried with a wireless one and nothing works, it turns off right after it logs into win 10.Keyboard only works on bios. Any idea what to do?Thanks.

I'm using Microsoft's Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 (PS/2 and USB compatible) with its latest drivers. The mouse does work in the USB port, but it won't in the PS/2 port. If you're wondering, I prefer to free up more USB ports so I can use other more important devices.

This is why I'd rather use the PS/2 for the mouse. Now I'm not sure how to find any indication of whether or not this port is working. If anybody knows how to find out if the port is working, please inform me. And by the way, just in case, the PS/2 keyboard port does work. It's just the mouse port that's giving me trouble. I beleive that the link that you had provided shows that the kit is actually a hordware kit, and not a software download, and I do not have this kit.

Ps2 Usb Port Not Working

Also I don't think that it's a good idea to plug the ps/2 devices into the non-respective ports. Chances are that it could damage the motherboard (most likely permanently) and make problems worse.

Alright, I found something weird about this. You may find this weird too, so I'll go step-by-step so you can try to understand of what I did and what happened.I intend to work on the problem using 2 mice. The 2nd mouse (which was a wired ps/2 only mouse) was used as a backup in case the 1st (the original mouse that was mentioned above) failed to function. I did not make any significant changes to my system. I plugged the 2nd mouse into the ps/2 mouse port, and when I tested it IT WORKED! But, when I pluged the original mouse into the ps/2 port, NOT WORKING!

And here's the weird part: when I plugged the same original mouse back to the usb port, WORKING AGAIN!Now if you don't get what I'm saying, it was the SAME ps/2 port that DID function the wired ps/2 only mouse, but NOT the wireless ps/2-usb mouse (which DOES function in the usb port only). Now I don't understand this, but I hope you do understand what I mentioned. So I wonder what was going on here. Alright, I found something weird about this.

The motherboard (which of coarse is the A7N8X-X) was bought in 2004, so it's not that new either.

I did plug into the ps/2 port (w/adapter) and rebooted. There were no errors, but the signal from the mouse's receiver is not on. This port was working with this mouse some time ago, but now it somehow not working with this mouse (and for some reason like I said, it did work for the wired ps/2 mouse).

That will be able to test if it's working. The other thing you can do is switch the keyboard into the mouse port and the mouse into the keyboard port. You should get some errors, if not, one of them will work and the other won't. Hopefully, you'll get the keyboard in the mouse port to work, so you know the port is working. Also, if you have any other PS2 devices that you can test it with.Good Luck and don't forget to leave a rating based on my solution.ThanksMarkPosted on Apr 15, 2009.

Hello fredbeer,I don't know where you heard that switching the keyboard to the other port will harm your motherboard, but that's not the case. It's done by millions of computer technicians in case they have a failure. But, I don't want anyone attempting something they’re not comfortable with.On the link, there is some hardware that you can get, but they also have the links to the software portion. But either case, Here is the basic jest of troubleshooting the PS2 port.Begin by opening the Windows Device Manager. Click the plus sign (+) next to Mouse and for Keyboard. You will see a list of the present PS2 devices installed on your system. If any of the devices have a yellow exclamation point icon, this indicates a configuration problem with the port.

If any of the devices have a red 'X,' the port is disabled.If you see an exclamation point, click the device and then Properties to determine the problem. On the General tab of the properties dialog box, the Device Status area indicates any problems that exist with the device. If you have a driver problem, click the Driver tab and click Update Drivers to install new drivers. If a conflict is the problem, click the Resources tab and look at the conflicting devices list. Devices using the same IRQ or other settings as the PS2 are in this list. Because PS2 ports can use only a few settings, try to change the other device's conflicting settings.

If the device is disabled, as indicated by a red 'X' next to the device, click Enable Device. Restart the computer if directed, and try to use the port again. ( NOTE: Because PS2 are built into the motherboard, you may need to use the system BIOS Basic Input/Output System configuration utility to change the port configuration or enable the port.

Press the Del of F2 key at system startup time to access the setup program to choose the settings to adjust port.)If the port has no driver or conflict problem and the port still don't work, you should test the port with another piece of equipment that is also a PS2 port to determine if the port is working. Typically a keyboard will give an error code on start up, which will indicate that it's functioning, however since you are concerned about the function of the motherboard, you’ll need to find another device.If you don’t’ have another device, then it’s going to be very difficult to test it out. If you have another computer that you can test the mouse on its PS2 port, or even a laptop, this will help determine if the cable from the mouse housing unit is bad.

You really only have few issues to determine.1) The Device Manager has a IRQ Conflict2) The Device has the wrong Driver3) The Device is not working correctly4) The Cable from the mouse housing unit is bad5) The Port is deadI’ve had mice go out on my before, and I’ve had ports go out before, the trick is determine where the problem lies.Good Luck Again,Mark.
