Trying removal & preventing installation of duplicate keyboard driver
Apologize for this long post but I am trying to be as thorough as possible to provide the necessary info.
Attached is the BIOS USB page & setup listing two keyboards. When checked, there really are two identical versions of the same driver (Microsoft 6.1.7601.17514) in the Device manager.
The problem is that the keyboard goes crazy after a couple of minutes. Keys don't generate the correct character, the Windows key is not working, and the left or right arrow keys bring forth windows open in the background.
The source of the duplicate is Logitech, passed through the Microsoft update and is installed by the Logitech Download Assistant, (software update released in August, 2012).
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\lvpro5v.inf_x86_neutral_793a06f60f3fecc2\LogiDPP.dll
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\lvpro5v.inf_x86_neutral_793a06f60f3fecc2\LogiDPPApp.e xe
C:\Windows\System32\LogiDPPApp.exe
C:\Windows\System32\LogiDPP.dll
Having four USB keyboards (two Logitech and two Microsoft), one of each is a wired, and one of each is wireless, to test the problem. Currently, I am using a wired Microsoft 600 keyboard and the problem is the same with all.
The mouse is always the same. It's a Logitech M510 wireless and all batteries are fully charged.
While in Windows, I managed to force the removal of LogiDPP.dll, and the 2nd keyboard driver disappeared and everything worked fine, until a reboot.
LogiDPPApp.exe could not be removed in Windows, so I booted into Xubuntu Live CD and deleted the files from System32 and \System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.
When rebooted, the BIOS again displayed two keyboards and one mouse, (I don't know it knew), and when Windows loaded, the above mentioned files were back in their folders.
Also uninstalled Logitech Download Assistant and hid the new replacement update
How can I get rid of them permanently?
