Hello, I have a problem with my laptop (windows 10) razer. When I pressed "a", it opened action center and I didn't manage to disable it so I decided to uninstall the keyboard but now it doesn't work at all. What do I do ? I can write with a USB keyboard but it still annoys me.

If you have only the laptop and the external in the system you should only see 2 keyboards there. Try doing a BIOS and Chipset driver update if there is one available.
You uninstalled the keyboard and now it does not work, what else did you expect would happen? Go to device manager, do a scan for hardware changes and see if it picked up the laptop keyboard again.
 


 
But the keyboard reinstalled automatically when I restarted it. I know that because I checked it. I'm not that stupid. But thanks for the reply.
 


That info would help, there is no way of knowing that it was back in Device Manager, only thing you said that it was uninstalled. How many keyboards to you see in Device Manager? Two or just one?
 


 



 


I saw 3 different keyboards installed, and all three are reinstalled, all three are HID keyboard devices.
