hi,
i have an asus 2 in 1 which can flip and use like a "tablet" . From 2020 until now, all was fine. I was happy with it.
Recently dropped and maybe the sensors doesnt work properly,
windows system thinks that the laptop is flipped backwards and locks keyboard and mouse,
i know this could be patched easily knowing what to disable,
keyboard works in boot bios, i can boot other systems and use the keyboard in bios and alternative boot systems like ubuntu booted live usb or windows pe,
i also set up Windows new and keyboard and touchpad works fine. But after the first windows update cycle, keyboard and touchpad is disabled, input only via touchscreen possible.
please i seek assistance with this.
im quite happy with the laptop performance and features,
maybe the a bug in no of the last driver update, just need to disable it, tried a lot of stuff, in windows registry,
disabling services, devices in device manager but nothing worked so far.
Any ideas?
thank you

Maybe you can try to enter safe mode to see if the problem improves.

I have tried safe mode, but unfortunately it is the same behavior. Only the touchscreen is working fine - keyboard and touchpad without any function.
Any further ideas?
