    Windows not properly working


    When I opened my computer, everything seemed to be working fine, until I tried opening my Start Menu, but when I clicked the icon bottom left nothing would happen. It showed that my cursor was on top of it but it didn't open, same thing while pressing my Windows key. So I tried opening the apps in my taskbar. Some would work, like chrome, firefox, file explorer, but some wouldn't, like spotify, my mail, discord. When I clicked on the ones I last mentioned, a box would appear either saying "The application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000142" or "class not registered".I've seen posts say

    :)

    HP 15-r029wm Notebook PC windows 10 keyboard not working properly

    Hi,

    I realize that the keyboard is not working properly. I will try to help you with this issue.


    • Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?
    Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to check if that helps.

    Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:


    • Press Windows key + R to get the run window.

    • Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Thank you.
