My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Firefox 50.0, Flash 24.0 (release 0)

I know I'm part of this shop, but even people who are good at computers have tech questions, so:

In Devices and Printers on Windows 7, everything is normal. However, the icon for my USB Receiver is not.
The text underneath the icon is normal (it says USB Receiver), however the actual icon is a picture of a keyboard instead of a USB Receiver. When I click on the icon, Windows says that the device category is “Keyboard and Mouse”. Note that the USB Receiver does still work.
This doesn't bother me, I just found it strange. Why is this happening and how can I fix this?

(And by the way, this happened since I first got this PC.)

Did anybody figure out why this is happening yet?

Yeah, exactly, Windows thinks the USB reciever is the keyboard and mouse, how can I fix this? Or is this just one of the things Windows does?

Try uninstalling the device driver and plug in the cord again. if it still doesn't contact the printers manufactor or Microsoft.

Hi there,
This doesn't have anything to do with a printer. It is something to do with my USB Receiver. My printer isn't even plugged in.

Do you know any fix? I remember there was a tool which would allow you to change the icon and category of devices, but I never used it, and don't know if it still works.

Everyone with a wireless keyboard and mouse has this.

So it's something to do with Windows, I guess I'll try to fix it myself.

It's not a glitch, rather it's meant.
