System Restart menu with no keyboard

System Restart menu with no keyboard

How do I get round this? I fired up my other PC this morning, having hibernated it. The 'Restoring state' screen appeared, the progress bar at the bottom ran across the screen, and then nothing. I switched off the PC, then back on, and it booted to the System Restart menu (the one that offers to delete the hibernated data and boot from scratch or try to restart again. Here's the kicker - I use a Microsoft wireless keyboard, the drivers for which aren't loaded until Windows has started. So I can't do anything with the menu - I can't change the selection with the arrow keys or accept the selection with Enter.

You should be able to use USB keyboard for this menu. Just make sure that legacy USB compatibility is turned on in BIOS. That will allow it to work even during boot.
