Hi @ollykins,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your wireless keyboard isn't working on your HP Pavilion All-in-One 24, it could be locked or experiencing other issues. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot.
Check the Lock Status: Some wireless keyboards have a "Lock" function (e.g., Num Lock, Caps Lock, or even a dedicated lock key). If there's a lock symbol, press the appropriate key to see if it unlocks.
Power Cycle:
- Turn off your keyboard, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.
- Restart your HP Pavilion All-in-One. This can sometimes resolve connection issues.
Check the Batteries: Ensure that the keyboard's batteries are not depleted. If necessary, replace the batteries and try again.
Reconnect the Keyboard:
- Unplug the USB receiver from your computer and plug it back in.
- You may also try plugging it into a different USB port if the current one isn't working.
Re-pair the Keyboard: If the keyboard is Bluetooth, you might need to re-pair it:
- Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices and remove the keyboard.
- Then, put the keyboard into pairing mode and add it again.
Driver Update: Ensure that your keyboard drivers are up-to-date:
- Open Device Manager and check under "Keyboards" to see if there are any issues with the driver. Right-click and choose Update Driver if needed.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
