About that ENTER key

As most everyone posting here for technical help has different computers and hardware, it always helps us to know what sort of system you have. See below:

"Please read before posting

If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended."

If you said you had a desktop, a proposed solution would be one thing, and if a laptop, that solution would be a different thing altogether. What kind of a desktop or laptop is also relevant.

What Microsoft update do you think is the culprit? KB number?

Awaiting your reply with more information to help you fix your issue(s).

When does it stop working?

When does it stop working? Some period of time after Windows loads, or does it just not work at all? If you go into the BIOS settings, does the enter key work there?
