Mackerel Ice Cream

I know this is extremely basic problem and I will probably just ending forming the drive and reinstalling Windows because I am missing a basic troubleshooting step. But I am coming up empty handed. My partner's computer cannot load keyboard drivers within Windows 10. I will list the troubleshooting steps below. I believe it's from a Windows update, but I can't roll back anymore, because it's past the ten day mark. Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you for wasting spending your time on this thread and sorry. ha!

Symptoms:

-Keyboard will not type nor will the caps or scroll lock light up

 

Troubleshooting:

-Within Windows 10

-Within Windows second keyboard

-Both known working keyboard and tested on another computer

-Mouse works

-Tested all USB ports & remove all other USB devices

-Wireless keyboard

-PS2 adapter. I can't believe I still have these things and yes, I restarted after plugging it in

-Device Manager: HID keyboards yellow icon with exclamation mark

-Device Manager: Uninstall all HID keyboards, restart after. Still yellow icon next to HID keyboard

-Device Manager: Disable all keyboard entries

-Device Manager: Update & search for new drivers

-Reinserting keyboard, Windows Popup message: installing drivers for keyboard, error found next to keyboard

-Windows update

-Bios: Keyboard works

-Safe Mode: Keyboard works

-Returning to a restore point

-Uninstalling the last update

-Windows Reset while keeping files

-Ignoring the issue for three days straight and hope for the best turning on the computer

-Probably a few others, but I can't believe all of them now.

A low end keyboard from Micro Center, I believe. However both of these keyboards work on another computer.
