Questions that only have an answer for the HP Envy x360 14-fa

The pen isn't writing on my HP ENVY x360.+

Check the pen first: replace or recharge its battery (many HP pens use a AAAA battery or USB-C charge), make sure it is paired over Bluetooth if it has buttons, and confirm it is an HP/MPP-compatible active pen for this model — a random stylus will not give pressure/tilt. Then test in an app that supports pen input, and update the HP and Windows Ink drivers. A dead pen battery is by far the most common 'pen not working' cause.
