audio - The keyboard, WiFi and sound card stopped working after installing Windows 7 updates. How to fix this?

I have a preinstalled licensed Windows 7 x64 on my Asus laptop. I used to update it via the internet all the time, until at one point this proved to be a bad habit.


I've been offered by Windows Update to update the keyboard driver. I usually told Windows Update not to apply such irrelevant updates, but this time for some reason I've decided to go with it.


After that, the keyboard, WiFi, sound card and probably some other devices stopped working. Looks like only devices which are wired internally in the laptop were affected, because USB devices connected externally work as usual (mouse, for instance). At first I used the screen keyboard but then I've connected an external keyboard.


I am an advanced PC user and I've tried different ways to fix this: rolled back the updates, reinstalled drivers, deleted devices in Device Manager. What else can I do?
