Hi @Minal27,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused don’t worry let me help you.

To better understand the issue, could you please provide a few more details?

• Are you facing this issue in all applications (like Word, Excel, browsers), or only in specific programs?
• Did the Insert key ever work before on your HP OmniBook 14, or is this the first time you’re trying to use it?
• Do you notice if the key responds at all (for example, does the keyboard backlight or any indicator change when pressed)?

In the meantime, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check Alternate Key Combinations
   • On some  laptops, the Insert function is combined with another key. Try pressing Fn + E or Fn + R depending on your keyboard layout, as these sometimes map to Insert.
2. Test in Different Applications
   • Open Microsoft Word or Notepad and press the Insert key to see if it toggles between Insert and Overwrite mode. This helps confirm if the issue is application-specific.
3. Update Keyboard Drivers
   • Go to Device Manager > Keyboards, right-click your keyboard driver, and select Update driver.
   • Restart your HP OmniBook after updating.
4. Check HP Support Assistant
   • Run HP Support Assistant to check for any pending updates for your device, especially BIOS or keyboard firmware updates.
5. External Keyboard Test
   • If possible, connect an external USB keyboard and test the Insert key there. If it works, the issue may be with the laptop’s built-in keyboard.
6. Keyboard Settings in Windows

• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and ensure no accessibility features (like Sticky Keys or Filter Keys) are interfering with normal key functions.

I hope this helps.
