Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Here are some additional steps you can try:

1. Check Touch Keyboard Settings:

• Open Settings (Win + I).

• Go to Personalization > Taskbar.

• Under Taskbar corner icons, ensure the Touch keyboard option is enabled.

2. Update Windows:

• Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date. Sometimes updates include fixes for such issues.

• Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates.

3. Run System File Checker:

• Open Windows Terminal (Admin) by right clicking the Start button.

• Run the following commands one by one:

sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

• These commands will check for and repair any corrupted system files.

4. Restart Windows Explorer:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.

• Find Windows Explorer in the list, right-click it, and select Restart.

I hope the information above is helpful.
