I tried uninstalling device from manager - doesnt work. Updating driver to incompatible one used to work but stop working after some update ig. Now what can I do ?

Not aware of any settings or software you can use to disable the built-in keyboard.  You would have to open the case and disconnect the ribbon cable -- and that voids any existing warranty.
