HP Pavilion Keyboard & touch pad not working after Windows update

[Li89]

My touch pad and keyboard stopped working a while back after a Windows 10 update. I used a wireless keyboard and mouse to make do for a while (including an update to Windows 11) but now wish to resolve the problem. Both devices work during booting but stop working when I get to the login screen. I think this may be a result of the initial OS 10 Windows update and not the HP devices but thought I would double check here before trying to get Microsoft support to resolve. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both devices but this has not worked. Grateful for any assistance.
