Windows Update offered a more recent bluetooth driver. I installed it and rebooted. I took the bluetooth keyboard to another Windows PC. It paired to that PC without issue. The PIN appeared, I typed it on the keyboard, and done. I took the keyboard from that PC (also an Apple Wireless Keyboard) to this Envy notebook, and have the same problem. The first and most obvious is that a Mac keyboard doesn't have a Windows key. More accurately, it doesn't have a key with the Windows symbol on it, but the one marked command or cmd acts as one. My apple wireless keyboard has stopped pairing with Windows 10. Now when I try to pair through settings, I'm asked to enter a passcode for the keyboard rather than being supplied a passcode to pair the device. I'm unable to type anything using the keyboard. Entering four zeros using the laptop keyboard does not work. The keyboard even worked normally last time. What can you do at this moment? To solve the problem as easily as possible, you can restart your Windows 10 Dell laptop firstly and then the keyboard may work as usual. If the keyboard still can’t be used, don’t hurry to repair it because the locked keyboard can also cause the trouble. You’ll then see a popup window that gives a passcode. That is while the setup for the 2 sorts of Apple wi-fi keyboards differs. If you have the older wireless Keyboard, definitely type the code on the display screen and hit the Input/Return key on your Apple keyboard.
