Hi

 

Please try these steps and check if your issue gets resolved.

 

Go to device manager & then uninstall the keyboard driver then restart the unit and have it checked.

 

Try doing a system restore to the date where unit was working fine.

Let us know how it goes!

The restore option worked like a charm - quick and easy.  HP seems to have some trouble about this, though.  I bought this notebook, and returned it because the delete button didn't work when it was brand new.  They gave me a replacement - this was 2 months ago - and now the same problem.  Wondering whether the touch pad or the keyboard has issues.  Thank all for the help.
