Windows 10: can't uninstall hid keyboard even after going to gpedit.msc

Hello everyone thank you so much for reading this;

I've got a weird bug that started out three days ago, the built in keyboard of my lenovo laptop had both of its shift keys pressed and concurrently the mouse was selecting everything, I've basically tried every little thing that I could - short of admitting mechanical failure.

I've narrowed it down to the extra buttons my mouse has and that Windows considers it an HID keyboard which I think is causing the bug, I've downloaded a gpedit.msc (from the internet - I'm using W10 home edition) but after enabling 'Prevent Installation of Devices not described by other policy settings' and uninstalling the HID keyboard it still shows up even after rebooting.

Albeit I'm not too sure if this will fix my keyboard bug I'm at the end of my rope and any help is very much appreciated.

:)

 

I can't set a slideshow in the Lock Screen and one of the Microsoft suggestions to use gpedit msc didn't work

I can't set up a slideshow for the lock screen. I can select a picture from the computer or I can select one of the Windows 10 standard pictures. If I select slideshow it doesn't change the PREVIEW and when the computer is inactive I get a black screen.

One of the suggestions made by Microsoft in response to this problem in another post was to run gpedit msc. I have tried this or gpedit.msc or gpedit and in all cases the message I get is gpedit or gpedit.msc or gpedit msc "is not recognised as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

How do I fix the lock screen problem or invoke the local group policy editor?

 

Unable to uninstall keyboard

Since I plugged in the dongle for the new keyboard there have been two HID Keyboard Devices listed in Device Manager. Is it possible they are conflicting with one another?

Since the keyboard was installed the computer freezes constantly.. Before the keyboard was installed during the 3 years we have owned the computer the computer did not freeze one time.

Hi Frank,

A factor why you're having keyboard issues is due to driver conflicts. We suggest that you reinstall the keyboard driver. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X > Device Manager.
• Expand Keyboards > Right-click HID Keyboard Device >
  Properties.
• Go to Driver tab > Uninstall.
• Restart your device.

If the issue still occurs, visit your hardware manufacturer's website and download and install the latest driver.

Keep us posted with the result.
