There is a troubleshooter.

But it's the usual problem. How do you
use a Troubleshooter, when all your HID devices
are busted ?

that is what I thought but a ps2 moose and keyboard solved the problem...

Exactly.

You can run multiple keyboards and multiple moose, no problem at all.

If a few aren't detected... you're on Windows 10 :-)

On Linux when the keyboard stops working, it's stuff
like DBUS that died. You run an RS232 cable from the
Linux box to the Windows box, and talk to the Linux
box over RS232 until you fix it. I now have a cable
permanently set up between machines, just for rescuing
Linux.

No computer is immune from feckery.
