    WIndows 10 DRIVER IRQL Not Less or Equal kbdclass.sys

    NA - try the compatibility flag fix mentioned above.

    I'm getting the same error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OE_EQUAL kbdclass.sys

    It happens on an HP tablet (purchased from Best Buy with Webroot antivirus installed) with or without the keyboard attached. I will try the compatibility flag fix.

    Webroot antivirus mistakenly flags Windows as malware

    Doesn't anybody test their software before it goes live anymore?
    Game developers are one of the worst for this, Unless you happen
    to be running the exact same machine as the dev, chances are it's broken.

    Indeed, I fail to see, what is mistaken about this. First thing I do after install, I disable Windows keylogger.
    Code: Disabling "MsCtfMonitor" task will disable any typing in apps like Calc, Edge, Search, Start, Store! schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\TextServicesFramework\MsCtfMonitor" /Disable[/quote]
