need ability to use uinput for simulated HID events

[cicorias]

need the ability to run modprobe uinput but that fails with

cicorias@cicorias-x1:~$ modprobe uinput
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.0-17763-Microsoft/modules.dep.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module uinput not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-17763-Microsoft
cicorias@cicorias-x1:~$

winver: 1809 17763.437

What should happen is

modprobe uinput  # runs and returns 0

# from the /dev path
ls -al |grep input
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root         160 Apr 25 04:47 input
crw-------   1 root root     10, 223 Apr 25 04:47 uinput
# should see uinput listed
