hi..ad3fskj;l
im using a small laptop with an external keyboard.
the keyboard from the laptop seems to have a problem.
it types random keys as if something stick is holding it down.
^that happens at random times and occurs with random keys.
i've decided to use this external keyboard.
how can i completely shut off my laptop keyboard?
i've tried the control panel>hardware>devicemanager. and it didnt help. i've tried the
uninstall keyboard, but it's reinstalled when my laptop's rebooted.
thank you guys, and i need help ASAP!

Hi,

The only way I know is to disable device installation, then disable the keyboard driver. So first import the attached registry tweak, then disable the laptop keyboard in the device manager and reboot.

You won't be able to install new devices, including new flash drives, USB drives, etc, unless you disable the policy by changing the dword parameter to 0.

In addition to Vadikan's software solution, a hardware solution would be to simply unplug the ribbon cable from the keyboard to the motherboard. Good luck.
