Windows 10: I am no longer able to use the handwriting panel?

I use an art tablet to draw Specifically XP pen's Artist 12, and when doing so, I like to be able to use the handwriting panel to search things on pinterest and google, as it makes it easier than having to put my keyboard on my lap or reach around my tablet. However, after a recent update I'm not sure of the exact date, but it was in the past few days, whenever I tap on the search bar, the handwriting panel no longer comes up. I've played around with the settings and reset my computer, but nothing has worked. I have tried searching on google to find other solutions but they are only for if

Disable Handwriting Panel in Windows 10

So, I've solved my problem, though I suspect my solution is not what Microsoft had in mind. This won't work for actual tablet users that are using the touch keyboard but not the handwriting panel. I am using a PC with a wacom and this solution turned
off the handwriting panel that was so annoying.

• start
• settings
• search "services "
• view local services
• when the box pops up that shows all the services, look for the service labeled Touch keyboard and handwriting panel
  
• click on it and right click, change the setting to manual, then select stop to stop the service

you can start it again whenever you like
