Touch keyboard disappears 3 times each reboot or sleep

Hey I have a Spectre x360 doing something weird.  Every time I reboot or wake the laptop from sleep (well at least after it's not been used for a while)...When i tap the box to enter my password in touch mode to log into windows the touch keyboard dissapears 3x.   I made a video of it:https://www.dropbox.com/s/80ks0vbh6jpt3po/2015-07-18%2020.23.23.mp4?dl=0 It's irritating mostly, but It's weird behavior and I cant figure out why.  HP support isnt that useful, because they cant view videos and it wont show up while the remote session is happening.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thx!

See if doing this helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

    - Have you tried another USB port and cable?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Windows 8 tablet touch keyboard DISAPPEARED from login screen!

    I recently bough an Asus VivoTab Smart running windows 8 and everything was fine up until today when at some point the touch keyboard stopped disappearing whenever i needed to log in to the tablet! its annoying to have to find the on-screen keyboard and
    i would like to have the touch keyboard back.
    I have tried restarting many times and that does nothing, i have tried updating the driver but i cant as it says that it already has the driver up to date and that its running properly!
    Any help is appreciated! thank you,

    I don't know if this will help you but it solved a similar problem I had on my Windows 8 touch PC:
    If you are able to reach the Start/app tile screen or desktop and from there "view local services" which you can find by typing "services" in the Start screen scroll down the list until you come to the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" which
    should say "Automatic (triggered)" and "Running"
    From there "right-click" that service (or otherwise get into its properties), click the "Log On" Tab, click the first option under "Log on as:" (circle button "Local System account") and make sure to Check box "Allow service to interact with desktop"
    For me this box somehow became unchecked when I "Refreshed" my windows 8 to solve another issue. Once I checked the box, the keyboard started to reappear at the login screen.

  • Pavilion G4 - Diabling Touch Pad is not retained after reboot or Sleep

    On a Pavilion G4 running Windows 8, when I double touch the upper left of the touch pad to disable it, it does so and acts accordingly.  However, after I close the lid to put it to sleep or re-boot, the system comes back up with the touch pad enabled.  What can I do to have this work correctly (and have it be disabled after sleep or reboot)?  Thanks.

    Try this: Control Panel-->Mouse-->Device setting, choose [Disable] , then [ok] should permanentely disable touchpad function. Thanks!

  • Iphoto thumbnails disappear with each reboot

    My iPhoto thumbnails disappear any time I reboot or log out of iPhoto.
    I use the rebuild command and get them back, but they don't  stay.
    Is this a problem with iPhoto or the address where the thumbnails are stored?

    My iPhoto library is in the correct location on my laptop hard drive.
    This all started with editing photos.
    I backed up to time machine, then deleted @350 photos from a recent download.
    iPhoto froze up with this, and I did a force quit.
    Re opening iPhoto came back with all black thumbnails.
    I option-command opened iPhoto and rebuilt the data, and the thumbnails.
    The photos are there, but every time I log out of iPhoto, the thumbnails are gone again, and I have to rebuild.
    So...  I restored from a journaled copy of iPhoto photos, from time machine.  The problem persisted.
    To restore however I had to move my iPhoto library (30 Gigs)  to an external hard drive because I did not have enough
    room on my hard drive to restore from time machine.
    The data is all there, but the thumbnails just won't  persist. 
    I think it is haunted.
    thanks

  • Acer Aspire R13 Touch Keyboard in Stand Mode

    When I switch the laptop into Ezel or Stand mode, the touch keyboard is disabled in the Windows 8 touch interface, e.g when I open IE, I cannot type any URL. Is there any way to enable the touch keyboard in all modes? An update ... using the touch keyboard troubleshooter available at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/using-touch-keyboard, it shows that the touch keyboard is disabled. When the notebook switches mode, some piece of software changes the theme (which I like) and disables the touch keyboard. So my question is, can I enable the touch keyboard all the time?

    sh_kamalh,
    The notebook is working as designed, when it is in ezel and stand mode the built in keyboard would need to be used.

  • I lose my bookmarks, each time I reboot my PC. I have to restore them each time, don't know why

    I lose my bookmarks, each time I reboot my PC. I have to restore them each time, I open firefox, don't know why

    The home icon by default has moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
    In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (Refresh) buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
    When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
    If you want separate buttons stop/go/reload buttons, or want to move the home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above. 

  • Touch Keyboard Is Screwy All of a Sudden

    I installed a bunch of updates for the synaptics, wacom, graphics, on my X220T recently.
    Of course, common sense would suggest you do each one at a time, and make sure to have restore points made during each change.
    I won't claim to posses such common sense.
    Anyways, the current result is that when I log into Windows 8 it will not bring up the virtual kepad for me.
    I also have had the virtual keypad turned into a minature useless keyboard that can't be re-sized (that I'm aware of).
    There's a second touch keyboard that works ok if you manually open it each time, but it's not really optimal (and still doesn't pop up at the login.
    Has anyone else run into this issue, and know which update or driver may have caused the problem?
    I'm about ready to restore from an external clone of the drive, but would rather not if there is a simple fix.
    Here are screen shots.
    First shot is what the keyboard turned itself into. Tiny, dockable (which is ok), but not coming up at log in and too small to use. This is called "Touch Keyboard" in windows.
    Second shot is of the "On Screen Keyboard", which is semi useful but also doesn't load up automatically, doesn't seem to support inking, and doesn't like to lock into place well.

    The shots are taken while it was connected to my 52" 1080p, so don't let the size fool you. The standard one I used to use (first shot), is completely useless for touch now, and the second one (which you can see pinned under the temperature app on the taskbar, not the bottom location near the battery monitors [that's the original one that's now screwy) is a pain to use and doesn't pop up on its own.
    Suggestions?

  • Will HP provide a BIOS with integrated Touch Keyboard for Tablets like Split x2 and Spectre x2?

    I'm wondering how useful a tablet may be, if you like to encrypt the drive but the BIOS has no integrated touch keyboard.
    Will the ODM Wistron provide an update for that problem or did we have to wait for HP?
    Any other solutions available? NFC-like authorization?
    I do not want to attach the keyboard each time to enter the PIN for Bitlocker.

    I remember a message, where someone said that if you use the UEFI mode with the HP Split 11 tablet together with Win8.1 / Bitlocker and the latest BIOS upgrade from HP, that Windows will display a pre-boot on-screen keyboard. I thought that this will also work with the Elitepad or that this tablet has a special HW-Encryption feature.

  • My ipad2 keyboard disappears sometimes

    My ipad2 keyboard disappears sometimes, usually when I try to log on to things.

    Try this first and see if it works.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Keyboard disappears!!

    recently my keyboard disappears in landscape orientation,,,can't type anything with no keys to see,,i do have the keyboard when the phone is vertical, but the keys are too small for me to use that way,,

    Sorry for the trouble you're having. I personally contacted the manufacturer (HTC), and learned that since your keyboard is not displaying in landscape mode (as opposed to simply not rotating), there are a couple of things we can try. First: 
     - Tap Menu>Settings>Apps>Manage Apps> Choose Touch Input >Clear Data>Force Stop.
    If this does not resolve the matter, please perform a factory reset. Please be sure to backup important data you have on the phone before taking these steps: 
     - Tap Menu>Settings>SD&Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset>Reset Phone>Erase Everything
    When your phone reboots and you log into your Gmail account, the apps you had will be restored. 
    In the event this does not resolve the matter, your phone may be in need of replacement. 
    Thanks, 

  • Touch keyboard and landscape orientation rarely working on my 9800

    Having an ongoing problem with my 9800: Over the past 6 months or so, my 1+ year old Torch has gradually become disoriented, er, it has lost the ability to detect it's physical orientation. This inability to detect the device's actual orientation happens in conjunction with losing the ability to use the touch screen keyboard. I have fat thumbs, so the slider keyboard is frustrating to use.  I mentioned this was a gradual loss of function, meaning that it sometimes resolved itself, but I cannot force it to recover via keyboard reboot, battery & sim pull, making it stand in the corner, etc. Now, six months later, the problem seems to have pretty much burned itself in, so I resorted to a complete wipe & restore. That didn't work either. **bleep**.
    I am beginning to think the forced portrait orientation is initiated by opening (or partially opening) the physical keypad. When that happens, it seems as though the device is not getting the indication that the physical keyboard has been closed. Sort of makes sense. Dirty contacts or micro switch? 
    But I am conflicted because some game apps require you to orient the device to landsacpe. When I use those apps, I will get a message telling me to reoritent the device to landscape - and doing so reorients the screen - but only while that app is in use. Unfortunately, when closing those apps, the verticial orientation problem remains and the touch keyboard is not available.
    Can someone give me any suggestions to fix this? I am eligible for an upgrade, but I am holding out for the BB10 lanuch later this year. This has to be fixable!
    I saw one other post from November, 2011 by another user having the same issue. There were to comiserating replies with the same problem; yet nobody in the community has responded to that post with a possible cause or working solution.

    I have concluded that this is a design fault. It frives me nuts and the only solutions I have seen on the forums is upgrading or re-installing the OS or doing a hard boot. The former does not work and the latter occasionally works. Of course, re-booting every time you slide the keyboard open is not a real solution. Very frustrating.
