Nothing pops up to type/write when I click a text box

[ChandraNolynne]

I've only had my laptop for about a week. I have preferred to keep it flipped like a table but choose not to put it into Tablet Mode. Normally, when I click a text box, either on touchscreen keyboard pops up, or a "write-here" box pops up where I can write with my stylus. Yesterday, this stopped happening. I never went into my keyboard settings and changed anything, not sure if maybe I accidentally hit some kind of keystroke shortcut that toggled something. Does anyone know how to fix this?

@ChandraNolynne Does this happen on a browser? or anywhere on Windows?

While you respond to that, if it's related to applications or browsers in particular, try the below steps:

First, click the "Start" button and then click "All Programs".





Please right click on the "Internet Explorer" and select Run as system administrator".





If User Account Control appears, click on "Yes".





Click the "Tool" button on the upper right corner, then click the "Internet options".





Click "Security", uncheck the "Enable Protected Mode (requires restarting Internet Explorer)" option, when done, please click "OK".





In the "Warning" window, click "OK".





Then close and restart the applications.

It happened all the time; in apps, browsers, even the Start Menu search bar. It was this was for a few days and then yesterday out of nowhere the keyboard popped up with a finger touch. Then a little while later the Write Here box appeared again. I don't know what I did or if it simply glitched out there for a while. I certainly hope not as it's a brand new computer. I will try your above solution if it happens again.

@ChandraNolynne Fair enough, do try if need be and let us know if you need anything else,

Good luck!
