HP TouchSmart
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My USB keyboard and USB mouse are not recognized by the computer once the windows home screen appears. I mean, they work perfectly while the HP logo appears in the screen and when the boot options are displayed (those that tell tou to press F11 or F10 to open a menu). But as soon as the windows logo appears and a little *woosh* sounds inside the PC, both of the devices AREN'T RECOGNIZED ANYMORE. I looked up for solutions but they all involve entering my account, but i can't because i'm not even capable of entering my password. The touchscreen also won't work, so using it to enter my account isn't an option. The thing is that they are functional until windows runs. I tried pressing the CAPS LOCK key several times to check if the little light works (it did) or to check when the problem began. As I mentioned before, the keyboard stopped working when windows started to load, but the new thing was that everytime i pressed any key, the caps lock light would flash (it didn't stay on or off).

I understand that USB devices are not recognized.

 

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

 

Please perform the below steps and check for the issue.

 

Hard Reset:

2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.  

3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer ) 

4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.  

5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)

6) Try to turn on the computer and check, If the issue persists continue next step

 

Set BIOS default and restart:

  1. Restart your notebook.
  2. During startup, press F10 repeatedly until the BIOS menu is displayed.
  3. Once the BIOS menu is displayed, press F9 to restore factory defaults.
  4. Select Yes to confirm.
  5. Press F10 to save changes and exit.
  6. Select Yes to confirm.
  7. The computer restarts using the default settings.

If the issue still persists, please perform the system restore.

 

let me know how that pans out,


And the answer to the above question will help me, help you!
