  1. How to disable laptop keyboard


    I need to disable my laptop's built-in keyboard. The keys are broken and it's impossible to type using them, in addition to the fact that the small keyboard space hurts my hands to use. For the longest time I was able to use the wrong driver on the keyboard and was able to set it so it wouldn't 'fix' itself upon restarting. My problem now is that windows 10 forced an update on me last night and now, no matter what I do, the built-in keyboard will not disable or uninstall! I set my usb keyboard on top of the laptop's keyboard, so this is a huge problem for me. How can I permanently disable the built-in laptop or at least tell me a way to turn it off! Please!

    :)

  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.

    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?
