The "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" is missing when I installed Windows 11. Is there a way to add this service back?

Touch keyboard and handwriting panel service is not listed in windows 11. It is imbedded in the system already. So, all you have to do is open the touch keyboard, click the setting icon in the upper left corner and select handwriting in the pull down menu. For older versions of windows, you do have to make sure that the touch keyboard and handwriting panel service is selected as recommended in the previous message. Then open the touch keyboard and click the handwriting icon below the setting icon.

Hello and thanks for reaching out for support. My name is Larribeau and a regular user like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

If the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" is missing after you installed Windows 11, there are a few things you can try to add it back:

Check if the service is disabled: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, then type "services.msc" and press Enter. Look for the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" in the list of services. If it is there, right-click on it and select "Properties." Under the "Startup type" dropdown, make sure it is set to "Automatic." If it is set to "Disabled," change it to "Automatic" and click "Apply" and "OK."

Else if that fails,

Use PowerShell to reinstall the service: Press the Windows key + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" from the menu. In the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:

Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Windows\SystemApps\InputApp_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppXManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

This command will reinstall the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service

I have recently updated my windows 11 and now the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service is totally missing from services so i tried this web page instructions but idk how to do it properly so it did't work. Can you provide a video tutorial.

Open Powershell application with administrator rights

type below line and press enter

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register “$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml” -DisableDevelopmentMode}

wait for a few minutes to complete the process, then restart windows.

It is missing completely from the services menu. The keyboard pops up constantly and I can't find a way to make it stop. I was hoping that by reinstalling it into the services menu I could do that but I can't get it to work either.

The "select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" from the menu" is not an option in the menu but "Terminal (Admin)" is and that popped open the terminal in PowerShell but the command did not work. I received an error:

Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path

'C:\Windows\SystemApps\InputApp_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

I tried changing the directory all the way up to C:\ but got the same error every time. I even upgraded the PowerShell to 7.
