cant enter console commands windows 10

[clank5]

I cant bring up the console command input with the ~ key. I have did a lot of searching for hours and found that many say its a problem with the "microsoft ehome infrared transceiver" and to disable it in the device manager. I can get to the device manager and look under the Human interface devices tab but I cannot find the one to disable. I am on windows 10 so all the other ones showing how to disable are for previous versions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

first off where are you from

america ( querty ) will have ~
europe however ( azerty's ) will have ²

either way, the key above tab, regardless of layout :)
--------------------------
second

resolution
if your resolution is off the game might not show the insert bar ( it would be there but offscreen )
however you should be able to click on things to get their id and the game should be frozen during active use

( so that's easy enough to check if it's active but not shown )

---------------------------

as for infrared tranceiver
they aren't a default

you might not have one
what is listed under there ?

( search funtion, type in "infrared" that should give you an option, see if that has any hardware listed under it )(?)
( i for one have no onboard infrared hardware )

I have an american keyboard I use the ~ key

The resolution is fine. It will not even activate or pause the game. It works with my fallout 4.

I searched "infrared" and clicked on the hardware tab under devices there is not anything there. So I do not have one then.

Unplug your controller.

I did a little digging into this, as I too am a Windows 10 user (but have never had this problem, but I'd like to know what do do if I ever do run across it)

Apparently the consensus is that 99.99% of the time the problem with the tilde key is due to that infrared thing. I found one of the vids you mentioned, the one that shows how to perma disable it. The author of that vid also said this.....

"You could have another Iinfra-red. Many Hauppauge TV cards have a plug for IR sensor. Even if you don't have the sensor plugged in it is still active. Same goes for some mainboards, laptops and so on, they can have an IR connection."

Could that be your problem?... that one of your other such 'cards' in there has an unseen infrared plugin? If so you'd have to find it, and disable it.

I really do not know what else could have it. Also not 100% on what these are? Is it just a IR receiver for like for a remote or something. What my computer is the razer blade, i use one of their mouses and keyboards, while just using a regular monitor. not to tech savy with the advanced stuff, do you have any ideas where else i could look.

Could you link me to that video. Thanks
