  2. More than one listing in Device Manager

    In addition to the resolution, we suggest that you uninstall both keyboard drivers from the
    Device Manager of your PC, and then restart your device to automatically reinstall the appropriate keyboard driver on your computer. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, type Device Manager, and then press
      Enter.
    • Expand the Keyboard section, right-click on the device driver, and then select
      Uninstall.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
    • Uninstall both drivers.
    • Once you’re done, restart your device and check if the issue persists.

    Keep us updated about your concern for additional assistance.

    Device Manager Un-Hiding Hidden Devices

    When you connect a plug and play device, Windows Plug and Play manager detects it, finds and installs the driver. Device Manager lists the device with a solid icon.

    The driver is only removed when you uninstall the device, not simply by disconnecting the device. When the device is disconnected, its driver is still installed. By default, Device Manager only displays connected devices. When you show hidden devices, note the Bluetooth icon you see is semi-transparent (not opaque). That indicates a "non-present" device. Sometimes also called a "ghost" device. The driver is still installed but the device is not currently detected (i.e. not connected).

    Device can be disconnected when
    • Device unplugged (e.g. removing a USB device)
    • Turning a device OFF
    • Disabling the device in BIOS (then windows won't detect it) or
    • Device failure

    So
    • Check BIOS as suggested
    • Check board connections
    • Can b/t be turned off by a switch? or keyboard combination?
    Also possible the b/t h/w failed
