@sldmartin here's a few steps that should help:
- Let's restart the computer and tap on F11 during the same to enter recovery mode, choose the keyboard layout, choose Troubleshoot.
- Click Advanced Options and open Command Prompt.
- In the Command Prompt type the following command:
For 32-bit Windows: dism.exe /image:c:\\ /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~16299.248.1.17
For 64-bit Windows: dism.exe /image:c:\\ /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.248.1.17
IMPORTANT: Change C: with the appopriate drive letter, if Windows is located in other directory, not in C: drive. - Close Command Prompt.
- Click Continue to close the Windows Recovery Environment.
- Restart the computer and install available Windows updates. Navigate to Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
If the issue persists, try the below steps:
- Restart the PC again, tap F11 during a restart and Select the Recovery Menu > back to Troubleshoot.
- Now under Advanced Options menu, select Command Prompt.
- Copy and paste the following commands in the Command Prompt window and press Enter:
chkdsk c: /f
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bcdboot c:\\windows /s c: - When Command Prompt executes all the commands, reboot your PC and check if they fixed the “Choose your keyboard layout” error.
-
In case this method did not work, you can try boot into Safe Mode with Networking:
- Reboot Windows several times in a row. Failed reboots will start an Automatic Repair.
- In the Automatic Repair Window, select Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options.
- Then open Startup Settings and click Restart.
- Now click F5 or 5 to access Safe Mode with Networking.
- Once you access the desktop, right-click on Windows key and select Device Manager.
- Check each category of drivers to find out if any of them are malfunctioning. Problematic drives are usually marked with a yellow exclamation mark.
- If none of them are labeled as outdated or corrupted, then we would strongly recommend updating all Universal Serial Bus controllers.
