What's going on with Debian 12, I'm not allowed to reinstall Debian?
Do I need to install Windows 11, and then reinstall Debian?
If anyone can suggest a better solution it would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
PD :
After the 'Screen Blackout' kicked in and then moving the mouse, I
was asked to enter the password, and the keyboard worked!
However, the keyboard doesn't work on any other application; no
matter what key I press.

Those two posts are almost identical, but not. This is confusing and
wastes time and effort:

There's something in me saying that it is a virus, but that might
be 'cos I'm still traumatized by all those years of Win-OS usage.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I've tried other keyboards but to no avail.

It would help if you provided the following information:
* The manufacturer and model of your computer, its CPU, its memory
modules, its storage devices, and any hardware you want to use with Debian.
* The make, model, and connection of your keyboard.
* What operating system you computer had prior to installing Debian the
first time.
* What Debian Installer (d-i) image you downloaded. Please provide the
URL and file name.
* How you verified the downloaded image was good. Please provide the
console session.
* How you burned the d-i image to a USB flash drive. Please post the
console session.
* How you verified that the image was correctly burned to the USB flash
drive. Please post the console session.
* The specific steps you took to install Debian the first time,
including the questions d-i asked and how you answered them.
If you are not doing so already, please:
* Record and save system administration console sessions. script(1) is
one approach. I prefer cut and paste into a plain test ASCII file.
* Keep copies of any and all system configuration files you create,
update, or delete.
* A networked version control system is very useful for these tasks. I
use CVS over SSH.
Please test the power supply for your computer. One bad rail can cause
the computer to appear to operate, but to fail spectacularly. Desktop
ATX PSU testers are readily available. If your computer has some other
PSU, you may need electronics skills and equipment.
Some computers have a self diagnostic utility in the motherboard
firmware Setup utility. If you computer has such, please run it.
Memtest86+ is a popular FOSS memory test utility. Please download, burn
to USB flash drive, boot, and run at least one full pass. Run for 24
hours if you have doubts:
