Cheers.
I can't get an external keyboard to work under my Windows 11. I remember that it worked once only by plugging into the USB port. Now, Windows chimes, indicating that there is a new device plugged into the USB, but the keyboard does not work. Lights on it (NumLock, Caps) don´t even blink, indicating no power goes through. I tried the right and the rear USB ports and used two different keyboards, updated the USB controllers, restarted several times, no good. Any tips? Thank you in advance.
