My Tablet PC Input Service is missing/gone and others!

Hi Artistic Noose,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below information:

1. Which version of Windows you are using? (To check, type: winver in start menu and hit enter.)

2. Are you aware of any changes happened on the computer prior to the issue?

3. What is the make and model of the Tablet PC?

This issue can be fixed by enabling the service or starting it from the services. I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Start the service.

1. Press Windows and R key together on your Keyboard.
2. Type Services.msc and it enter.
3. Search for Tablet PC Input Service. (There are two other services responsible for Tablet input to function correctly. SL UI Notification Service and Software Licensing.)
4.  Double click on the service and select Automatic in drop down StartUp type.
5. Click on Start or Restart option to start the service.

Method 2: Enable the service.

1. Press Windows and R key together on your Keyboard.
2. Type msconfig and it enter.
3. In the System Configuration window,go to Servicestab and search for Tablet PC Input Service.
4. Check the option, Tablet PC Input Service to enable it.
5. Click on Restart and check if the issue is fixed.

I would also suggest you to follow the steps provided by AnthonyJose on 2 December 2016. If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

Hope it helps.
