Hello there. I'm currently having an issue where my keyboard doesn't seem to be recognized or is disabled on Windows Settings and Windows Search. Some keys on other hand does work like "Enter". My keyboard isn't faulty and I've already installed the latest drivers. It worked with Third-Party Applications.
