Arduino Micro as HID is not sending button pressing

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hello,
I have a problem with Arduino Micro as HID.
Here is my test code:

#include "Keyboard.h"

void setup() {
	Keyboard.begin();
}

void loop() {
	delay(5000);
	Keyboard.press('a');
	delay(50);
	Keyboard.releaseAll();
}

It works on my PC, but doesn't work on my laptop.
How can I fix this problem?

What's runing on your laptop? Maybe it wants to use the BootKeyboard protocol. Install the HID-Project library (available in the library manager) and try this:

#include <HID-Project.h>

void setup() {
	BootKeyboard.begin();
}

void loop() {
	delay(5000);
	BootKeyboard.press('a');
	delay(50);
	BootKeyboard.releaseAll();
}

Usually a Laptop has a built-in boot keyboard so it doesn't accept an external boot keyboard. Have you tried to use the standard keyboard instead?
