Lots of little things that I would normally have been able to fix don't seem to be fixable in Win 10 but it might be a hardware issue.
My desktop is a Packard bell iMedia S2885 with the standard usb keyboard that shipped with it.

sort of begs the question.... why are you using windows 10.... surely it is not ready yet... if consumers have to "fix" everything to make it work... and somethings can`t be fixed....

@shutter
because with every operating system there are little things you need to tweak or fix for your particular setup unless you always buy off the shelf systems that are pre setup by the shop and never change anything until you replace it .... I burn through mice at the rate of 2 a year (wires get broken) and I almost never have the same make and model of mouse to replace the old one with, similarly with my kids and keyboards, they get whatever is cheapest yet robust enough to last a few months (so around the £10>20 mark) but rarely if ever do they get the exact same replacement
and every time drivers change and things need "fixing" before they work properly, since windows 10 is rather different under the hood to older os's it needs more time for drivers to become fully available, and of course most manufacturers aren't making them available since they want people to buy new hardware, my g19 keyboard which is now 6 years old will need replacing when I upgrade to w10 or I can use it but with buggy drivers until It stops working altogether ......

Got this Win 8.1 and had to start fixing things.... was hoping Win 10 would do that ... but... nope... gotta fix things... like... the touchpad driver on my old laptop was considered "dangerous" to WIn 10 so they blocked it... so... reverted to Win 7 pro... and hey.... everything "just works"... nothing to "fix"...
so you are not correct in saying that Every o.s needs to have things fixed to get it working... just not true...

My current rig has been upgraded several times since I put it together 6 years ago, only the case is still the same thing I started off with and pretty much every change I made has resulted in something needing to be "fixed" but its all a learning curve and some stuff is repetition whilst others are new and challenging
Either way it all helps diagnose just what the kids broke or changed that's causing whatever strange symptoms on their machines, as a parent though windows 10 has to be the best yet for family safety integration, particularly since the child cannot deactivate it

That's why I still have my old xp pc in a corner. My printer and scanner and their software works perfectly on that.
If I got rid of it I would have to buy new ones to work on my other pc.

I had no end of problems a couple of years ago with a HP pc kb/mouse (got them for a quid off ebay) and drivers not being available because they don't sell them direct to the public s don't make the drivers available without an hp support login .....
