I hate Windows Update!

Aaargh!

Windows updated last week and took out my keyboard again. And this time I couldn't get it to recognise it by forcing a reinstall of the USB hub driver.
 

So I've been doing stuff that only needed the mouse, or the minimal use of the on-screen keyboard for a week now, and I'm definitely (key)bored with it.

I was using the PC a couple of hours ago and it definitely wasn't working. I just came back from watching some of the Olympic rowing and swimming, sat down, started typing from force of habit, and it's working.

*Headdesk*

Windows Update is now turned off, and it's staying that way until Windows 11 if I have any say in the matter.

Oh man, so sorry you're dealing with this!

Yeah, it's majorly annoying. Worryingly the eventually sorting itself suggests a hardware problem, but I've confirmed it with multiple keyboards, and with the USB ports at front and back, which would usually be separate sub-boards. Which leaves the motherboard as the common factor *headdesk*

Ahhh, computers...
