Hi @EK41,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP All-in-One PC 27 keyboard isn't typing, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.

Check the Keyboard Connection:

• If it's a wired keyboard, ensure that the cable is securely plugged into the USB port.
• If it's wireless, check that the receiver is properly connected and the batteries are not depleted.

Try a Different Port:

• Plug the keyboard into a different USB port to rule out issues with the port itself.

Check for Keyboard Driver Issues:

• Open Device Manager (right-click the Start button, then select "Device Manager").
• Expand the "Keyboards" section. If there's a yellow triangle next to the keyboard, right-click on it and select "Uninstall device." Restart the computer, and Windows should reinstall the drivers automatically.

Test the Keyboard in BIOS:

• Restart your PC and press the appropriate key (usually F10 or Esc) to enter the BIOS/UEFI settings.
• If the keyboard works in BIOS, it's likely a software issue with Windows.

Try Another Keyboard:

• If available, try another keyboard to see if the issue persists. This can help confirm whether it's the keyboard or the PC itself.

Check for Sticky Keys or Other Accessibility Settings:

• Sometimes, the "Sticky Keys" or other accessibility options might interfere with typing. Go to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard and ensure none of these features are enabled.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
