Windows 10: How to disable Laptop Keyboard Windows 10?

After a Windows 10 update, my malfunctioning keyboard came back online and has been holding down the right arrow key periodically. This keyboard is the built-in laptop keyboard. I have tried uninstalling the keyboard, but it automatically reinstalls it upon restart. I have tried updating the driver for the keyboard to the wrong driver, which worked before the update, but now, after restarting, Windows seems to change the driver back to the right one. I have tried using gpedit.msc to prevent the device from reinstalling, but my Windows Home edition does not come with the program. I have tried installing the local group policy editor, but that installation process resulted in my laptop being practically unworkable. It corrupted files and i had to completely reinstall Windows 10.


I can't find any other options. Is there anything else I can do to disable the built-in keyboard? Or is there another reason the computer would hold down a button without physically holding it down?


I have a usb keyboard I use instead of the laptop keyboard and would like to continue using that.

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.
