I've been having some keyboard problems this week. I guess on Tuesday 11/13,
I was downloading some programs and they all installed properly. That night,
when I turned off my computer, the automatic update went and installed some
updates. The next day I turned on my computer and when I got to the log in
screen I found I couldn't type my password in. The mouse worked fine, so I
unplugged my USB keyboard and plugged it back in to see if it would make a
difference, it didn't. After that I decided to restart, but the same thing
happened. I figured that the programs I downloaded must have screwed
something up. I found that my keyboard worked during the boot up because I
could hold F8 and start in safe mode and press enter and so on. In safe mode
I still couldn't use the keyboard to log in, thankfully my admin account
doesn't have a password so I could log in that to restore my computer to the
day before I installed those programs. Sure enough, after the restore I
could use my keyboard at the log in. So that day I didn't download or
install anything else, but that night when I turned my computer off the
automatic update went off again and installed the updates. I turned on my
computer the following day and same problem: I can't type with my keyboard to
log in. So I restore again, keyboard works again, and I turn off automatic
updates. I restart to test, and choose the option to shut down but not
install the updates and it works fine.
So my question is: how do I fix this problem with the update without
constantly choosing not to install the update everytime I turn off my
computer for the rest of my computer's life?
