What do I need to restart in task manager to restart the stylus functionality on my MS surface Pro?

Or some other thing I can try to maybe fix this very silly mess I've got myself in ?

Problem:
my stylus isn't working

Probable Solution:
restart the computer and let it do the updates it's been wanting to do for a rather long time now

Problem with that solution:
I have over 100 windows open (shut up, I know) and some of them have unsaved work in them, and saving this work is difficult without a functional stylus. I am currently using keyboard etc. but I usually use the stylus for everything, so doing it this way is slow.

I know I shouldn't keep this many windows open, but fixing that problem is a job for a psychologist or psychiatrist, currently I just want the tech support answer to get myself out of this particular current silly mess.

It's not the stylus itself, I have two spares, all three are unresponsive, even after a fresh AAAA battery in one of them.
