I have a 1989 IBM Model M keyboard. Since the last Windows 10 Update on March 1 that claims to have:
"improved" reliability in numerous areas, including ... authentication, resuming from hibernation
My PS/2 keyboard is no longer being detected upon startup as a keyboard device. Therefore I am unable to enter in any keystrokes to unlock my computer.
In a nutshell, here is what I had to do..
Plug in my Logitech 710+ keyboard (USB) to unlock the computer
In device manager, I uninstalled all but the PS/2 Keyboard entries (There were about 4 USB keyboards listed, then the PS/2 connection listed last.
This fixed the problem, or so I thought.
Once the computer went back into hibernation mode, upon "waking up" it reverted back to that ^^^. Again I plugged in the 710+ and uninstalled all but the PS/2 ports all over again.
Keyboard is now working again.
I really don't want to deal with this every time I turn on the computer or wake it up from hibernation. I am absolutely livid with Microsoft for this crapdate and simply just want to use my computer that I built the way that I choose to configure it.
My question now becomes how to override Windows' wanting to identify a USB device as a keyboard? This is driving me insane.
