Try an external keyboard? If so, uninstall the update (if possible) from Programs (installed Updates) in Control Panel

boot up into safe mode (assuming keybaord works fine there) and do a system restore back to before the update.
if you set your network as 'metered' it will not download updates automatically, to prevent auto reinstall.

Update: Keyboard seems to be working now. But will note access to safe mode in previous post for future reference.
