Hey there! @adavis16, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!
I understand you have keyboard issues with your PC.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
Have you tried checking with an external keyboard does the issue persist?
Please share the product number of your PC to assist you better.
As you mentioned the keyboard has stopped functioning but the touchpad still works on your PC.
First, restart your PC keep tapping the F11 key on your PC before the PC boots, you will see the recovery manager screen.
Open the command prompt from the list and check if all the keys on your PC are functioning correctly.
Try using the onscreen keyboard as an alternate on your PC.
Try few steps recommended below.
Turn off the computer and then restart it.
Press the Esc key repeatedly to see if a startup menu opens.
If a setup menu does not open, the integrated keyboard hardware is not working. The integrated keyboard in the notebook should be serviced or replaced. To continue using the notebook, connect a USB-wired keyboard to a USB port and restart the computer.
If a setup menu opens, use the arrow keys to navigate the menus. If these keys are working in the startup menu, but then fail when Windows loads, the problems might be related to the keyboard software.
Restart the computer.
In Device Manager, uninstall and reinstall the keyboard software:
In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
Click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
Click the arrow next to Keyboards, right-click the keyboard device name, then select Uninstall to remove the device from Windows.
Continue removing device names in the Keyboards category until all device names have been uninstalled.
Restart the notebook. Right-click Start (), select Shut down or sign out, then select Restart.
Wait for the computer to restart and open Windows.
Also, Turn off Filter Keys
Filter Keys is a feature that is designed to ignore brief or repeated keystrokes, and according to users, this feature is turned on by default on their laptops, and that’s what’s causing the keyboard issue.
Go to Control Panel and open Ease of Access Center.
Scroll down and select Make the keyboard easier to use option.
Scroll down and locate Filter Keys option. Make sure that Turn on Filter Keys option is not checked.
After turning off this option, click Apply and OK to save changes.

Hello,
Thanks for the response. An external Keyboard plugged in via USB does work. I've tried the uninstall keyboard drivers and reinstalling them with no success. I'm guessing this is a hardware issue. Thanks again for trying.
