The system I'm dealing with wasn't connected to the internet here, and already has AU. I had already rebooted it a couple times. The customer had done a recent remote session after calling one of those "microsoft support" phone numbers that was stuck in their browser.
System was working just fine. Just did that reboot after uninstalling a couple remote connection programs, then got hit with this issue. After removing the USB dongle and it booted I checked the device manager it had about 6 failed HID devices with an "!", HID-Compliant Consumer Control Device, and HID-Compliant Vender Defined Device. I tried to delete one of them and device manager froze. I rebooted and all the bad devices were gone and plugged the USB dongle back in.
So I don't know if Windows 10 kept trying to create multiple HID devices for the USB dongle and failing or what. But now it's normal and it's plugged back into the original USB port and boots okay. I also disabled Fast Boot for the heck of it because I do have another computer here that won't boot after a "Shut Down" if it's enabled. Now there's only one "HID compliant mouse" device in "mice and other pointing devices". Go figure. Just another Windows 10 inconsistency bug.
