O.P. Uninstall Built In Keyboard.
The Keyboard on my laptop is broken, but I have a USB one (which im using now) is there a way I can uninstall the built in one because its keeps typing things.
Ive tried uninstalling it with Device Manager but it just installs it self on reboot.

Thanks in advance :)

If you can find the keyboard in device manager, simply set it to disabled instead of uninstalling it. Hopefully that will do what you want it to do. :)

Hmm, you're right. I only have one keyboard plugged in though, I'll try seeing if a second one enables the option to disable.

EDIT: nope, there's no option to disable

Is there no other program I could use to disable it? Or stop it from reinstalling on reboot?

Open the laptop, unplug the keyboard. Most of the time they're connected with a flat cable.
Finish the problem

RE: Uninstall Built In Keyboard.
I don't think there is a way to disable an individual keyboard device in Windows. There may be an option in the laptop's BIOS to disable the build-in device, though in almost all modern laptops this is a long shot.

Generally the keyboard will lift out, and the cable to detach is obviously going to be the one connected to it.
