Look in device manager for the wireless KB. If still listed there, remove it.

It isn't listed in device manager, and doesn't show up in a search

Maybe a dumb question, but why do you want your PC to go into standby?

Go to Device manager -> Click on the View Menu -> Show Hidden Devices. It maybe a Plug & Play device driver, and will go into hiding when the device is removed.

If it still dosn't show up, then we are back at square 1.

Standby was a nice power saving feature before hybernation came out, but ever since hybernation came out I find standby useless myself.
