Windows 10 Touch Keyboard Appearing But Not Typing

Question

So, my Touch Keyboard was working fine before, but unfortunately it didn't work anymore after I updated my Win 10 driver or the likes.

I have tried many solutions I found but they're not solving my problem. But most of the articles I found on the internet are how to make Touch Keyboard or On-Screen Keyboard appear.

The weird things are my On-Screen Keyboard is working fine, but not my Touch Keyboard.

Yes, my Touch Keyboard appearing like it should be, but I can't type any letters or key on it. Like... it just working as a display.
