Was trying to update driver on keyboard, I thought I clicked ‘update driver’ but accidently clicked uninstall. It said to restart my pc, so I did. My keyboard now is not working and I cannot unlock my pc because I need a password.

    You have some sort of special keyboard that only works with a specialised drvier? Windows has built in generic drivers that should work for almost any keyboard.

    You can also try to use the mouse to go to accessibility and use the onscreen keyboard

    While in login screen, check the bottom right corner, for the accessibility icon. Click there with the mouse, and it should have the option to show a virtual keyboard. You use those keys with the mouse clicks, then go to the device manager after you login and install the necessary drivers.

    If you need to access the keyboard website to download drivers, just have the virtual keyboard enabled so you can type before you have the keyboard working.

    Unless you are using something very old, you can just unplug and replug it in. The system will default to the generic driver.
