There were problems reported after the October update with keyboards, are you using a PC and external keyboard or a laptop with an internal keyboard?
If you restart (not shut down) your system does the keyboard then work correctly?

keyboard not working after nov 12 windows update. This problem began immediately after windows 11 upgrade. I eventually regained keyboard operation, but stopped working immediately after 11/12/2025 update. I have wasted a lot of time on this issue and am about ready to stop using windows altogether
