Hi @Jenncavaliere, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

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

The silence of the keys, a symphony 🎼of frustration. Your fingers dance across the keyboard, yet the letters refuse to join in. It's as if they're on strike, leaving you with an orchestra 🪗of nothingness.
 

Let's troubleshoot this melodrama:

Check Keyboard Connection: Ensure your keyboard is properly connected to your computer. If it's a wireless keyboard, check the batteries.

Run the Keyboard Troubleshooter:

  • Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
  • Find Keyboard and click Run.

Update Keyboard Driver:

  • Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
  • Expand Keyboards, right-click your keyboard, and select Update driver.

Adjust Keyboard Settings:

  • Go to Settings > Time & Language > Typing.
  • Turn off options like Show text suggestions when typing on the physical keyboard, Autocorrect misspelled words, and Highlight misspelled words.

Run System File Checker:

  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  • Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.

Check for Windows Updates:

  • Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates.

I hope this helps. 😇

 

Take care and have a good day. 🙂
