  1. Can't disable the laptop keyboard, and I've tried EVERYTHING.


    My laptop keyboard has gone nuts. The forward slash key is somehow stuck, but only starts typing randomly. And it only stops if I press the ~ key. If I press the N key, it makes the '/' key stuck again. And half of the keys don't work. Funny thing is, when I try pressing the '/' key manually, it doesn't work.

    So I am completely lost. I got a usb keyboard and tried disabling the built-in keyboard. I tried uninstalling the device in device manager, it asked me to restart the PC and keyboard was reinstalled. Then I created the group policy editor from a guide online (I have Home version) and tried to stop the reinstallation from there. That also didn't work. As a last ditch effort, I tried to install the wrong drivers to break my keyboard. AND IT STILL WORKS.

    Please help. This is driving me crazy.

  2. Disabling laptop keyboard

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

    • Press Windows + X and select
      Device Manager
      from the list.
    • Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
    • Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
      Uninstall.
    • Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.
    Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
    in order to uninstall it again.

    Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

  3. Disabling laptop keyboard

    I'm not understanding this. I had to uninstall and my keyboard is still not disabled. I'm having to use an external just to be able to type bc if I don't my laptop thinks i'm pressing "t" constantly and some of the other keys such as "I" and "O" and "U" are
    funky too. Can you please go into a more detailed description of what you mean here?

    How to disable a laptop keyboard

    Hi,BvinR

    My name is Erik. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    I've looked for the details regards about your concern and it will provide you the steps on how to fix the issue.

    kindly click this link

    I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

    1. Press Windows + X and select Device Manager from the list.

    2. Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.

    3.Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable.

    5. Click on Yes in the resulting dialog box to confirm the action and disable the laptop’s built-in keyboard.

    6. If you don’t see a Disable option in the resulting context menu, you will see an Uninstall option, and you can click on that to uninstall the drivers for the built-in keyboard instead of simply disabling it.

    Take Note:

    Windows 10 might automatically update the drivers after detecting the keyboard. If that happens, you will have to make your way back to the Device Manager and uninstall the drivers for the laptop’s built-in keyboard once again.

    if these steps did not resolve the issue kindly try this workaround method
