My Powerpoint is stuck on the Draw menu. nothing I do allow me to change to a different menu. When I select Home it briefly <1 sec changes to Home meu but immediate reverts back to the Draw menu. This is also true of Excel and Word apps. Seems like a software bug. How can I fix it?

    Hi Raleigh, this is Kimberly, an independent advisor, I'm glad to assist you today.

    In any Office app (PowerPoint, Word, Excel):

    Go to File → Options → Advanced

    Scroll to Pen settings

    Uncheck: Use pen to select and interact with content by default

    Save and restart the app.

    or temporarily disable touch or pen in Windows

    Turn off the tablet or touch device, or temporarily disable touch input:

    Open Settings → Devices → Pen & Windows Ink

    Toggle off options like Ignore touch input when using pen

    Or disable touch display/peripherals, then relaunch Office.

    Should you have questions, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    Kimberly
