Keyboard sketch not working on WIndows 10

[DebtFromAbove]

I am trying to set up a simple macro using an Arduino similar to a Leonardo (actual model is an old Redbear Labs 'Blend Micro') which uses 32u4 chip. I have a test sketch that works correctly on Linux, but when I plug it into my windows 10 laptop USB port (which is also where I am programming it through the ARduino IDE), the script does not output anything (except the serial debug when i don't have it commented out).

I have also tried BootKeyboard, Mouse and Gamepad. Nothing seems to produce any output on Windows. It only shows up as "Communication Device Class ASF example (COM9)" under Ports (COM & LPT) in Device Manager. Is this expected?

#include <HID-Project.h>
#include <HID-Settings.h>

int i;
const int pinLed = LED_BUILTIN;
const int pinButton = 2;

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  /*Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
   delay(50); 
  }
  Serial.println("Setup");
  */
  pinMode(pinButton, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(pinLed, OUTPUT);
  Keyboard.begin();
  i = 0;
  // allow time for reprogramming if it goes tits up
  delay(15000);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  if (digitalRead(pinButton) == LOW) {
    //Send an ASCII 'B',
    digitalWrite(pinLed, HIGH);
    Keyboard.write('B');
    Keyboard.println(F("This message was sent with my Arduino."));
    //Serial.print("PRINTED LETTER 'B'!!");
    delay(1000);
    Keyboard.press('A');
    Keyboard.releaseAll();
    delay(50);
    //Serial.println("Pressed Enter");
    Keyboard.print("Hello!");
    delay(50);
    Keyboard.releaseAll();
    //Serial.println("Released all keys");
    digitalWrite(pinLed, LOW);
  }
  if (i % 20 == 0) {
    //Serial.print("Waiting loop iteration: ");
    //Serial.println(i);
  }
  i += 1;
  delay( 50 );
