How To Fix GoToMyPC When the Keyboard Isn’t Working

GoToMyPC is an easy and safe remote connectivity solution that lets you connect to your device from any other internet-connected device. Unfortunately, this commonly used solution occasionally has keyboard issues.

GoToMyPC can be challenging to use if your keyboard isn’t functioning properly. This article offers tips on how to fix GoToMyPC keyboard problems so you can use the program effectively.

Check the Keyboard Connection

Ensure that your keyboard is connected to your device correctly. Firstly, make sure the USB port on the keyboard is connected. A keyboard error will occur if the keyboard isn’t connected to the computer or is inserted improperly into a USB port. In this scenario, the keyboard won’t work and won’t be recognized.

Reinstall the Keyboard Drivers

If your keyboard suddenly stops working, it’s most likely due to outdated keyboard drivers. Often, reinstalling them will solve the issue. The keyboard driver can be reinstalled on your PC using a number of different techniques.

To solve this issue on Windows computers, follow these steps:

1. Right-click “Start” and select “Device Manager.”
   
2. Open the “Keyboards” section, then select your keyboard.
   
3. From the menu bar, select “Uninstall Device.”
   
4. Click “Uninstall” to accept the confirmation message on the screen.
   
5. Reboot your PC.
   

Your computer will automatically reinstall the keyboard driver after you restart it.

If you’re a Mac user, follow this guide:

1. Your Mac’s keyboard should be disconnected.
2. Open “Finder”, select “Go”.
   
3. Click “Go to Folder”.
   
4. Search “Library.”
   
5. Choose all the keyboard driver-related folders and place them in the “Trash.”
   
   
6. Before connecting the keyboard to your Mac, empty the trash.
   

The keyboard driver will now be reinstalled automatically by the Mac’s “Setup Assistant.”

1. Go to www.GoToMyPC.com and log in to your account.
