The USB keyboard was connected because it stopped responding when multiple keys on the keyboard of the notebook PC were typed.

Since both the laptop keyboard and the external USB keyboard are enabled, unexpected characters are entered each time the laptop keyboard is touched.

Very inconvenient.

Therefore,

I have disabled the laptop keyboard, so I will share the steps I took.
