The FCU might leave your Razer Blade without a working keyboard or trackpad.

No major update to Windows goes 100 percent to plan, and with the Fall Creators Update Razer appears to be having a few struggles. Not least that the update might leave your keyboard, trackpad and USB ports completely useless.

However, both Razer and Microsoft have acknowledged the issues in a statement to Techradar and assured users they're working on a fix.
