Here we have a Lenovo V510 with windows 10 that belongs to my friend. As soon as it boots "set user settings to drive failed" error appears. It wouldn't be a big deal, but keyboard and trackpad do not work (same for usb mouse and keyboard). Noticed that while pc boots keyboard seems to start working for couple of seconds (caps lock led turns on and off) and then it dies. It looks to be a driver error, though not sure why it would kill the trackpad and keyboard. I wasn't able to safe boot it. Any ideas/suggestions?

I would, but can't 

currenty waiting for it to run out for battery life and then plug it in and try doing something from there

Prepare bootable USB drive with Ubuntu on some other computer, then remove hdd from your laptop and try to boot live Ubuntu from USB. That shows you where problem is.

Will certainly try that once I have access to my desktop, thank you

You can also try (if you want) just connect your laptop hdd/sdd to your desktop (unplug all other drives) and just boot for check is it hardware or software problem. If system boots - you'll know where problem is. The worst advice you can get is to reinstall Windows that actually works.

Whilst this is a bit of a late reply....

 

I was kinda hoping somewhere between power on and when windows would have normally started you might have had temporary access to keyboard to get into boot options and/or recovery system.

 

but obviously not.

It is like that on my win 7 pc, but not on this laptop that runs win 10. That was the first thing I tried to do, but didn't succeed

 Then reset (by reset switch) few times (2 or 3) while Windows is booting (when circle start spining) and Windows starts different boot procedure (repair).
