Windows 10: Hid Mini Driver on my Surface Laptop 1 Not Working

All the keyboard programs/drivers aside from the Hid Mini Driver are working but the Hid Mini Driver says it can't start, Code 10. My keyboard doesn't work at all, none of the keys function, only the mousepad and that only sometimes. I'm afraid to reset the laptop because I don't know what it would erase and I never made a backup.

If solutions 1-6 didn’t work, recalibrate the touchscreen:

Press the Tab key until the Yes button is selected, press Enter, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

(With a mouse, select Yes, and then follow the on-screen instructions.)

After your Surface removes the recalibration data, test the touchscreen to see if it responds appropriately.

If none of the above work...

Open Start, type: regedit

Right click regedit

Click Run as administrator

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Wisp\Touch

Change the TouchGate value to '1'

Exit then restart.

 

Surface Pro (1) Mini Display Port VGA - Windows 10

Anyone have luck getting the Microsoft Mini Display Port VGA Adapter working on the original Surface Pro and Windows 10? It did work on Windows 8 on another Surface Pro but I upgraded one to Windows 10 (it wasn't tested for the mini display ort VGA working before the upgrade) and the Control Panel - Display dialog does not show the second monitor. Detect doesn't do anything.

Windows-P reports it can't Project and suggests to update the driver - but drivers for the VGA adapter are not to be found (by me) on the Microsoft site.

Only Windows 10 + Surface help page I could find mentions all version of Surface Pro except the original. Is this device even supported on Windows 10?

 

HID Touchscreen Driver

It was listed under HID until I did a reboot for Microsoft updates. Touchscreen works but not listed. No HID driver listed for my Dell Latitude.
