Windows 10 keeps adding Logitech K750 keyboard that I don't have!
I did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on my Lenovo T460S laptop. I also have a Logitech K800 wireless keyboard and a M705 wireless mouse, both using a single Logitech Unifying Receiver.
Before I could even install the Logitech SetPoint software, I was getting a pop-up window by the task tray saying there was Logitech solar software to be installed. Looking in the Win 10 settings, I see my mouse and keyboard listed, but I also see a Logitech K750 and a M505 listed. I don't have either of those devices. If I remove the device, they are back again shortly or after a restart. Every time I log into Windows, I get the pop up wanting me to install the solar software.
Note 1: I installed Logitech SetPoint software and the extra mouse and keyboard are listed there too, but don't kill popup.
Note 2: I let the popup install the software, which was Logitech's solar keyboard software, and it said there was no solar keyboard detected.
What the hey!? Before rebuilding my laptop, I didn't have this issue and I'm using the same hardware.

The receiver is a just a USB device. You can remove it from Devices and Printers, restart and allow it to reinstall.

Yes, that would remove the receiver, but I believe the receiver itself remembers what devices are paired to it. Somehow, my receiver must have those extra devices I don't use. Looks like there might be a way to unpair devices from a receiver:

Just remove the device, add back and the re-pair the devices. Normal and not hard to do.

I use one unifying receiver for one keyboard/mouse pair. Do not mix and match. No need to.
Thanks

I wanted to clarify: I have never tried using more than one Unifying Receiver at one time.
The receiver I've been using for the past couple years somehow had a mouse and keyboard that I don't use synced to it. Perhaps I was testing those devices before, or more likely, I had a receiver crap out on me and I grabbed a spare that happened to have been used with those devices. I don't know why I didn't have this problem until I reloaded Win10 on my system.
During my troubleshooting, I swapped to another spare receiver I had lying around., That's how I narrowed down the problem to being with the Unifying Receiver itself, and not with Win10 or the devices.

John's posts helped me determine how to solve the problem, but the final solution is what I posted.
