18How to Disable Laptop Keyboard on Windows 10 [Tutorial]
If you want to disable your laptop keyboard in Windows 10, there are two safe methods: disable it in Device Manager or permanently uninstall it.
On most laptops, each peripheral cannot be disconnected and replaced on a whim as is the case with desktop computers, since every single peripheral is hardwired into the laptop. That being the case, if a laptop’s keyboard stops working, either partly or completely, you can’t simply disconnect it and connect a new one. You will have to have the laptop’s hood opened up and the entire built-in keyboard replaced. This can be quite costly, which is why most people with subpar or non-functioning laptop keyboards simply connect a normal, external keyboard to their laptops and use them instead. In such cases, and in many others, the laptop user would want to disable the laptop’s built-in keyboard so as to avoid unwanted or unintentional keystrokes on it being registered on the computer.
Another technique is to force the keyboard to use a driver that it can't use, thus stopping it from working. We don't recommend doing it, but if the other two methods don't work, that is an option.
