Hi @jillwilldesigns,

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 using an HP laptop with Windows 11, and trying to open the On‑Screen Keyboard or the Touch Keyboard?
• Do you see any error message when you try to launch it, or does nothing happen at all?
• Have you recently installed updates or changed accessibility settings?

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

1. Open via Settings
   • Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard.
   • Toggle On‑Screen Keyboard to On.
2. Use Run Command
   • Press Windows + R, type osk, and press Enter.
   • This should launch the On‑Screen Keyboard directly.
3. Enable Touch Keyboard
   • Right‑click the taskbar → Taskbar settings.
   • Scroll down to Touch keyboard and toggle it On.
   • You should then see a keyboard icon on the taskbar to open it.
4. Check Windows Services
   • Press Windows + R, type services.msc.
   • Ensure the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service is running. Restart it if needed.
5. Update Windows & Drivers
   • Run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to ensure your system is fully updated.
6. Test in Safe Mode

• Boot into Safe Mode and try launching the On‑Screen Keyboard. If it works there, a third‑party app may be interfering.

I hope this helps.
