I updated Driver for Y540 keyboard Firmware update - 10 [64] - 00000044 in Lenovo Vantage and after rebooting the laptop, keyboard stopped working and the driver has not been installed (also offers to install in Lenovo Vantage) and its subsequent update does not lead to anything, it is still not installed.
If anyone can give me any advice, I would be very grateful.
Just let the battery run out. And the laptop will turn itself off, then turn it back on and the keyboard will work (as long as it happened to me).

Hi there Lambrador.
Welcome to the Community Forums.
Have you tried completely uninstalling the keyboard and letting Windows just install the generic drivers to it ?
Also note, that not all drivers needs to be updated. If it works, it works. There should be no need to try and fix something that is not broken.
Please try the following:
Step 1. Disable Automatic Hardware drivers update
- Right click the Windows Icon, select the "Search" Function.
- Type "Control Panel" and select "Small icons" or "Large Icons" in the "View By" top right.
- Click the "System Icon"
- Navigate to "Advanced System Settings" -> "Hardware"
- Click "Device Installation Settings" and Select "No"
**This will prevent Windows from interfering with your hardware drivers in future updates, but keep crucial security updates rolling.
Step 3. Uninstall Keyboard Device + Drivers.
- Press the Windows key+X , select "Device Manager"
- Under "Keyboards" - Select the device in question, right click and select "Uninstall Device" There might be more then one device listed.
- If prompted to uninstall drivers associated with the device, tick the box and continue.
- Perform a restart of the computer to have Windows install the most generic drivers for this device.
If the Keyboard is now working, you can leave it as is. No need to install any new drivers or firmware unless there is a problem to begin with.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Voithos.

Your feedback helps us improve!I just updated my laptop keyboard firmware 00000044. My laptop is 3 months old and the fool proof setting is disabled in bios but still I have to use Fn button to control the brightness and volume. Any thoughts about how to fix that. I tried reversing it to enable still no luck. Does this firmware have a change log? Whats fixed or new with this update??
