I'm having issues installing the driver using devcon as well. Were you able to successfully manually install it? If so, what's the command that you used?
Did you read my comment? I explain why "devcon install" will not work, and suggest a better choice. You can also "Update Driver" from Device Manager.
Thanks, @timrprobocom. I was able to install it by right-clicking the .inf file and "Install". But I'm curious to know the exact "pnputil" command that you used.
The manual install directions Readme.MD for input/kbfiltr include the totally misleading suggestion to use "devcon install" to install the filter. "Devcon install," despite the deceptively attractive name, cannot be used to associate an INF file with actual hardware. What "devcon install" does is create a brand new FAKE device with the hardware ID specified, and then use the INF to associate a driver with that fake device. Perhaps a more productive suggestion would be to use "pnputil -i -a" to install the driver package.
I would ordinarily do a pull request to submit a fix, but the philosophy here needs to be officially blessed.
