Question

Mac Mini - after Sequoia 15 update - Keyboards fail to operate (space bar) after following community answers.

The installation of Sequoi 15 on Mac Mini leads to Satechi Brand keyboard malfunction. The Space Bar doesn't function in emails, notes, and other random apps, despite trying the suggested solution from this 'community' in the Systems Settings; Keyboard; Set Up Keyboard. Works for a few seconds, then back to the problem. Even changing keyboards to bon.elk doesn't solve the problem. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Mac mini, macOS 15.0

The standard fix for space bar not working is to make sure that you have Full Keyboard Access turned OFF in your Accessibility settings. So check that.

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.

Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.

Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?

Reinstall the OS.
