    Hi ,

    Some users have been experiencing this issue of the keyboard not working after the first startup and resolved it by disabling fast startup.

    Disable fast startup.

    Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Choose what the power button does > Change settings that are currently unavailable > uncheck the Turn on fast startup option > Save Changes.

    Open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

    Access the BIOS and disable the fast boot option.

    Give feedback if the information was useful or not.

    Thanks

    If your wireless mouse is not connecting to your computer after a restart, there are a few potential reasons and troubleshooting steps you can consider:

    1. Power Management Settings: Sometimes, the power management settings for the USB ports may prevent the mouse from connecting. Ensure that the power management option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is disabled for the USB ports.
    2. Re-Pairing the Device: If your mouse uses Bluetooth, you may need to re-pair it with your computer. Go to the Bluetooth settings and remove the mouse from the list of paired devices, then try pairing it again.
    3. Check Batteries: Ensure that the batteries in the wireless mouse are not depleted. Replace them if necessary.
    4. USB Receiver: If your mouse uses a USB receiver, make sure it is securely connected to the USB port. Try plugging it into a different port to see if that resolves the issue.
    5. Driver Issues: There might be an issue with the drivers. Check if there are any updates available for your mouse drivers through Device Manager.
    6. Restart the Mouse: Some wireless mice have a power switch. Turn the mouse off and then back on to reset the connection.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, further investigation may be needed to determine if there is a hardware problem with the mouse or the computer's USB ports.
