Coming > from the world of Windows 10, I intended to reinstall the Debian. On-screen keyboards usually require a working mouse or touch screen. Did the mouse work? Re-installing is pretty drastic.

That sounds like a software failure, interrupt or daemon not working. Again, rebooting might be the thing. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
