Solved: Re: Missing or corrupted keyboard drivers for HP ENVY TOUCHS... - HP Support Community

DasSchatz · ‎01-11-2017

Is it possible for me to be able to get the drivers for my keyboard without having to restore my entire operating system?

I attempted to install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2017. The install process failed and the Kaspersky install app claimed to back out changes it had made up to that point. However, my keyboard and touchpad no longer worked. Looking on the HP website, I found instructions for restoring the keyboard drivers. I went to Device Manager, Viewed hidden devices, expanded Keyboards, uninstalled each driver listed under Keyboards, then Restarted my laptop. The keyboard still did not work so i went back into Device Manager to look at the drivers under Keyboards again. This time two have yellow triangle indicators with an "!" - HID Keyboard Device and Standard PS/2 Keyboard. When I right-click on each of thes and view the properties, I see the messages:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.

The driver may be corrupted or missing (Code 39).

{Unable to Load Device Driver}

%hs device driver could not be loaded.

Error Status was 0x%x"

Hi@DasSchatz,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I was going through your post and understand that you are unable to install the keyboard driver for the PC. Is that, right? I will be glad to help you.

I was able to do a research and find a suitable solution which addresses your query. I request you to install the driver for the PC and check if that solves the issue.

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63408.exe

If that doesn’t work, then, the only solution is to perform the recovery on the PC which will definitely take care of the issue but wipes all the data on the PC.

Hope that answers you the question. Feel free to reply for more.

Thank you, Resolv_S!

So far I tried to install the keyboard drivers but the install failed. I am now in the process of backing up my data to an external drive and locating the sources for addition software that I use. Once I complete that and can be sure I won't need access to any files or my browser for a couple days, I will follow the instructions you provided to restore my system.

Thank you so much for providing such clear instructions. I am just sorry that the keyboard driver install didn't work, but I am very hopeful that I will be able to restore my system by following the instructions you gave me. I will give you an update on my progress in a few days.

There is a new development today.

I had reached out to the Kaspersky Tech Support Team five times over the past eight days and had given up on them - even got a refund several days ago. Today they sent me this link,

http://support.kaspersky.com/us/general/error/10663?cid=pe, which is titled

"Keyboard and mouse do not work after a Kaspersky Lab product has been uninstalled"!!

Evidently they have a known issue but were reluctant to share the fix when I first reported my issue. I don't expect their instructions to help at this point but I will try out of curiosity and hoping still to avoid having to reload all software which was not part of my original system. Having said that, I do expect, and am fully confident that your instructions on restoring my system to its original state will work and therefore I have a strong "safety net" when these latest instructions fail.

I will keep you informed about how it goes

Thank you,

DasSchatz

Previous message was actually from 1/15/17 - I had gotten distracted and forgot to "Post" it :o(

Resolv_S and Riddle_Decipher,

I am back to an operational state again! Thanks to the instructions for restoring my laptop back to its original state.

Unfortunately just loading the keyboard and mouse drivers did not work. Kaspersky acknowledged that they have a problem for which they do not have a good solution. Their tech support tried working with me to create a rescue disk and boot from that in order to repair the problems their software had caused on my laptop. The end result was that I not only couldn't use my keyboard nd mouse but I lost all network and internet access!

I finally bit the bullet and followed the instructions you sent to restore my system to its original state - worked like a champ and didn't take near as long as I had imagined. Then I quickly reloaded my other software and I am mow "back in business". Thank you so much for the help and the detailed steps!

Gratefully,

DasSchatz
