Non connecting keyboard with the M4 Mac mini. a hardware or software problem?

New M4 Mac mini worked just fine upon initial setup. One week later M4 Mac mini would not recognize the Apple Wireless or a USB connected Keyboard.

  1. This is not helpful. If we are unable to log in, then we won't be able to see the system report. If we do finally manage to log in, then, of course we will see the keyboard. The instructions to "Look For: these items" doesn't specify what we are expected to see or not see.
  2. Other postings that instruct us to just purchase a new keyboard are equally unhelpful. There is obviously some bug that intermittently prevents the system from recognizing a perfectly good keyboard.
  3. For the record, my system has been updated to 15.3.
