Hi @ranbir3,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing a keyboard issue with your HP Notebook PC. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
To assist better:
- Was there any recent update on the PC?
- Are all the drivers on HP Support Assistant up to date?
- If not please follow the document to update the drivers: HP PCs - How to Download, Install, and Use HP Support Assistant (Windows)
While you respond to that please try the below steps:
Update the BIOS & Keyboard drivers to resolve this issue
- Here's the link to download and install the above updates: Click here
If the issue persists, then please follow the steps mentioned in this document: HP PCs - Testing for hardware failures in Windows 10
If the issue still persists, I'm sending out a private message to assist you with the next course of action.
Solution 1:
The keyboard in Windows 10 has an automatic detector to disable the keyboard and the trackpad as soon as it becomes a 'tablet'. To access it go to the following menu items:
Control panel (NOT SETTINGS) -> Keyboard (use icons) -> Keyboard Lock -> Auto-Lock the keyboard and touchpad (recommended)
You can use these settings to disable the keyboard in tablet mode
Those steps should do the trick, let me know the outcome!
Have a great day
