Unlock your keyboard - how to do it

If your keyboard suddenly stops working, it doesn't necessarily have to be broken. You may have simply locked your keyboard by mistake. This can be undone quickly and easily with the help of a key combination.

This is the key combination to unlock your keyboard

Both on desktop PCs and laptops, it can happen that the keyboard is locked all of a sudden and, accordingly, no longer works. However, there are simple solutions for this to be able to use your keyboard again without restrictions.

• On the laptop, the key combination "Fn" usually helps, as well as one of the keys "F1-F12". To find out which additional key you need to press, just look on your keyboard. On one of these twelve keys should be a keyboard icon, so you now have to hold it down together with the "Fn" key to unlock your keyboard again.
• On the desktop PC, there is so far no key combination that you can use in a hurry. Here you have to navigate via the "Menu" to the "Control Panel" and select the "Center for easier operation". If you have activated the category view, then you still have to open the "Ease of use" beforehand. Now select "Ease of use of the keyboard". Then uncheck "Enable keystroke delay" and confirm your selection with "Ok". Daraufhin sollte Ihre Tastatur wieder uneingeschränkt funktionieren.
• Funktioniert Ihre Tastatur noch immer nicht einwandfrei, dann sollten Sie über einen Austausch nachdenken, da sie dann, allem Anschein nach, defekt ist.
