Step-by-Step Fix

1

Unplug Controller

Some games disable KB/M if a gamepad is detected.

2

Alt-Tab Out and In

Refocuses the game window if an overlay took control.

Check Keybindings

Ensure the controls haven't been accidentally unmapped.

When to See a Technician

If the mouse works in menus but not in-game, check for "Raw Input" settings in the mouse menu.
