HID is an acronym for Human Interface Device. In Windows this most
often refers to USB connected keyboard and/or mouse.

In Device Manager try removing all repeat all entries for USB
controllers, HID compliant devices and anything in the "Other Devices"
category. Then reboot the computer and let it redetect them.

Good luck
