You can't actually remove it, it's a core part of any OS - you probably uninstall it. If you have done a full reboot and it hasn't been automatically reinstalled then something is preventing that.
First probability is that it has something to do with Kasperski - disconnect your internet link, disable Kasperski and shutdown the pc. Wait one minute and start it up again .
If even now it doesn't work then option 2 - you might have a "ghost" of the incorrectly installed keyboard hanging around that prevents the system from
re-installing it correctly. Reenable Kasperski and try this:
- open a Command window
- type:
set devmgr_ show_nonpresent_devices=1
press Enter
- type:
devmgmt.msc
press Enter (Device Manager opens up) and don't close the Command window
- in Device Manager go to the View Menu and check Show Hidden Devices. Now have a look and see what you have under Keyboards. If you see, as well as your current keyboard, a grayed-out "ghost" of the Microsoft keyboard, delete the ghost and OK your way out.
Shut down system, plug in the Microsoft keyboard and boot, and hopefully Windows will detect it; check in Device Manager when you reach your desktop. If it's a USB keyboard, you may need to unplug it and plug it in again once Windows is running to make the system notice it.
