Why is my Enter key not working on Windows 11?

Asked By CoolCat4642 On

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with both of my keyboards on my Windows 11 system. Initially, the Enter key works fine for about two minutes after I turn on my PC, but then it just stops responding altogether. Even the virtual keyboard's Enter key isn't functional. I've checked if there are any macros set up, and I've also tried updating and reinstalling the keyboard drivers, but nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm starting to wonder if this could be a virus issue, but Windows Defender says everything's fine after a scan. Any ideas on what might be going on?

It's important to ensure your data is backed up before making any major changes to your system. If you're concerned about malware, running a dedicated malware scan might help. If you're still stuck, resetting your PC could be an option, but make sure you have everything saved first.

Sometimes, weird issues like this can crop up from conflicting software or drivers. Have you tried disconnecting any external devices temporarily to see if that resolves the Enter key issue? It could also pay off to check your BIOS settings.

Have you tried booting Windows in safe mode? If the Enter key works there, that suggests something running in the background might be causing the issue. You could check your processes and close them one by one using Task Manager to see if you can identify the culprit.
