Keyboard not working in Edge or Cortina

Running latest versions of all mac, parallels software, and latest update to windows 10. I tried typing an URL in Edge but no characters appeared. Then tried typing in a search in cortina, and again, no characters appeared.

I reinstalled Parallels tools and reset windows 10 but I still cannot type in Edge nor cortina.

Any ideas?

 

I tried the steps above and the script seemed to have processed. I did get several errors messages but scrolled by to fast to capture them. However, I still have the same issue of not being able to type in the address windows of edge, nor cortana.

Was I supposed to restart windows after running the script (I did not)?

PS. Just tried IE and I was able to type info, so it must be an Edge/Cortana issue.

 

Please create a new user profile on Windows 10 and check the behaviour.

I have the same issue and Microsoft Tech Support reloaded windows and still no fix. Now they won't support me on it because its a virtual machine. They said contact Parallels or Apple. Looks like everyone is blaming each other, What the deal Paralells? Do I have to pay for the phone support now? Not impressed. Own it and fix it!

 

I have exactly the same issue, any idea?

 

I had to do a refresh reinstall windows and that solved this issue and others I was having.

 

@HeathA , @AndrzejL Hi! please try these steps- Start Windows > Run > copy/paste this command as is 'C:\Windows\system32\ctfmon.exe' (without quotes) > Restart Windows 10.

 

Karthik, I've had the same problem, and the c:\windows\system32\ctfmon.exe fix works transiently. Does not 'stick' from session to session, however, and have to re-enter the command every time I open Windows in Parallels (which I do by copying and pasting into Cortana).

@jwynn9154 You can try these steps-
1. Navigate to the folder C:\Windows\System32
2. Locate ctfmon (Application)
3. Right-click > Send to > Desktop (Create shortcut)
4. Open run > type ' shell:startup ' (without quotes)
5. Drag & drop the ctfmon shortcut placed in the Desktop to the Startup folder.
6. Restart Windows & observe if the issue re-appears.

 

Karthik, that works perfectly. Thanks.

 

Sounds great. Please feel free to reach us anytime.

 

Karthik, I had the same problem and the fix of incorporating the ctfmon shortcut in my startup folder worked for me. Thanks

 

Awesome ... I've been pulling my hair out over this and have tried almost everything. Running CTFMon worked though. Thanks!

 

Glad to know that you were able to sort out the issue. Please get back to us for any further queries. Thanks!

 

Karthik's solution worked great but it took a while for windows to re-open so be patient. also had to navigate to shell:startup since I couldn't type to find the run command
