My above HP Pavilion x360 - 13-u135u keyboard is suddenly not working properly. Right now also, I am typing on the pad mode with my touchscreen keyboard. I have tried the following troubleshoots:-
1) Pressed ESC tab on Restart and setup has opened and I could move with the arrows ;
2) Pressed the start button (on the side) for 8-10 seconds ;
3) Tried uninstalling the keyboard HID keyboard software, but on restart it appears again automatically (probably I am doing this incorrectly) ??
Please help

Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
Please run a Keyboard Test from F2 Diagnostic and let me know how it goes
- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the Notebook.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second.
- When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests and Keyboard
Thank you

Hi KrazyToad,
I did the F2 Diagnostic Test for my Keyboard and it said PASSED. All the keys were working fine and right now also I am typing with my main keyboard. But the problem still persists. Now I have to close my Laptop's lid again-n-again to get onto my Locked-screen, wherein one can see the EASE-TO-ACCESS tab (Screenshot attached). Now every time, I have to press this tab and then only my Keyboard starts functioning. Otherwise, it hangs-up sometimes and I have to do the above procedure of closing the lid.
Kindly help!! I am very confused, as to , whether it A Software or A Hardware issue? I have also done Factory-Reset of my laptop and reinstalled the OS and everything else, but still the problem persists and now it is getting very frustrating.
Regards
Pravz
