Hi

windows 8 pc with two users - th pc is an acer that has been upgraded to 8.1

both users can log on using the log on boxes but one user looses keyboard functionality when the start screen/desktop appears.

Tried a new keyboard to no avail.

I'm lost as to the cause as the usb wireless keyboard (microsoft) works for one of the two users.

Anyone any ideas as to the cause?

thanks

Ian

Did it come with any software? If so is the same software running under both accounts?

That's what I'd do. Was there a windows update? Sometimes they have side effects.
