2. Uninstall/Update Keyboard Driver
There might be a problem with the keyboard driver. Uninstalling the driver might fix the issue. Don’t worry, Windows is so smart to detect that the driver is not installed and it automatically reinstalls the driver as soon as you turn on the PC.
- Search Device Manager and open it.
- Locate the Keyboards option and right-click on it.
- Select Uninstall.
- Click OK to confirm the uninstallation.

- Open Device Manager.
- Expand the Keyboard option.
- Right-click on the keyboard device.
- Select Update driver from the pop-up menu.
- Tap on Search for drivers automatically. Make sure your PC is connected to the internet. Windows will check for a new version of the driver. If found, it will automatically the latest version or you’ll see the message “the best drivers for your device are already installed”.
3. Disable Filter Keys

- Turn off the toggle next to Filter Keys.

I bought a K270 which worked great for 7 months but then started with missing keystrokes randomly. Not like certain keys wouldn’t register but like first key stroke wouldn’t register like the keyboard was asleep or something. I actually like the keyboard for the price but will probably have to trash it as being too unreliable. It is interesting that Logitech only says its supported up to Windows 7 OS. So I wonder if it even supports Windows 8,10, or 11?? Have to make sure next time I buy a keyboard that supports the OS version I am using.
