We try to be helpful.  We sometimes fail, but we try.  :)

Yep.  Use both "--no-default-keyring" and "--keyring".  For instance:

$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring \path\to\pubring.kbx --list-keys

However, as of GnuPG 2.2 you can no longer specify private keys this 
way.  There used to be an option, "--secret-keyring", which was used 
just like "--keyring", but it's obsolete and now does nothing.

Yeah, that's expected and doesn't shed much light on the matter.
