'Uningenious' doesn't seem to be a common word. What could I use instead? 'Unimaginative', I guess? What else? How do you describe a person's actions which don't demonstrate creativity, the ability to solve problems using clever, as opposed to the most obvious, methods?

You could say that a person always finds unoriginal or unclever solutions. You could also describe them as predictable or unskilled.

You can always look up more antonyms of ingenious.

Personally I like uninventive:

Lacking in creativity, originality or imagination

Trite, hackneyed, unoriginal, cliche, platitudinous, and uninspired all work.
