Try turning off windows ink:

Use this info if you need it:

Follow the steps below to disable Windows Ink in Windows 10. These steps are easy and will allow you to disable the Windows Ink workspace in just a few seconds.

If you don’t have a digital pen or you want to remove the Windows Ink Workspace icon from your taskbar, there are two very simple ways to disable Windows Ink Workspace in Windows 10. Here they are:

Solution 1: Disable Windows Ink Workspace in Windows 10 Using Group Policy

  1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor. Navigate to: Computer Configuration ->Administrative Templates ->Windows Components ->Windows Ink Workspace.
  2. In the right pane, double-click Allow Windows Ink Workspace to open its properties.
  3. Check the Enabled option. Next, select Disabled from the drop-down menu under the Options section.
  4. Click on Apply and then OK. Restart your PC to make the changes to take effect.

Solution 2: Disable Windows Ink Workspace in Windows 10 Using Registry Tweak

  1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run command
  2. From the run utility window, type Regedit and click Ok to open the registry.
  3. Next, navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft
  4. If you can't locate the WindowsInkWorkspace  folder, then do the following:
    -Right-click the Microsoft key in the left pane, and then select New -> Key.
    -Name the Key as WindowsInkWorkspace and click OK.
  5. Right-click empty space in the right pane, select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  6. Name the DWORD value as AllowWindowsInkWorkspace. Leave its value data as 0.
  7. Restart your computer. Once signed back in, you should see Windows Ink Workspace disabled.
  8.

Dear User,

Can you update the OS version to latest & check if all your drivers are up to date? This will eliminate any system specific issues. Please let me know if this does not work.

Thanks,
