-After Windows updates, specifically KB4023057(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb4023057-update-health-tools-windows-update-service-components-fccad0ca-dc10-2e46-9ed1-7e392450fb3a), Keyboard stopped to work(Function key also stuck ON).

-Tried to uninstall the update a multiple times but it got installed again when windows starts always.

-Currently uninstall option is no longer available in Windows updates.

-Tried to Recover/restore/Reinstall Windows but the update is there.

-Cannot be uninstalled from recovery screen, says uninstall failed.

Keyboard TBS:

-Laptop is generally a bit old so not eligible for Windows 11, currently running Windows 10.

-Uninstalled device from devices manager (Keyboard PS2) - restarted

-No rollback option available (greyed out)

-T440s Laptop (ThinkPad) - Type 20AQ - PC02PBLN ----> downloaded all online drive updates from lenovo.

-Tried to look for older keyboard drivers but none found or available.

What else could be done This is certainly nor a hardware issue as device was left overnight when the update was completed and then next morning it stopped working?

    1. Sometimes profile-specific issues can cause such problems
    2. Create a new admin account and see if the keyboard works there
    3. You may try an external keyboard and test if that works.
    4. Boot from a Linux Live USB to check if the keyboard works there. If it does, it confirms it's a Windows-specific issue.
    5. You may try a System Restore. Select any earlier Restore Point when everything was perfect.
    6. You can try using Media Creation Tool to repair your system.

    Hello,

    If we could not uninstall the update in Settings. Try to use Control Panel or command to uninstall.

    Meanwhile, check the keyboard manufacturer's official website for the latest drivers to install.
