After a recent Windows update, my laptop keyboard intermittently becomes unresponsive while I'm working. The only way to restore functionality is by restarting the system. This issue had occurred previously as well, and reinstalling Windows had resolved it temporarily. However, the problem has reappeared after 2-3 months. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it permanently?

    Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do

    Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable"

    Uncheck "Turn on fast startup"

    Click Save changes and reboot


    Uninstall and reinstall Keyboard driver.
