Windows 10 On Screen Keyboard

[stephensavage1986]

Hi All,

 

Having some difficulty with the OSK in windows 10 on our classroom screens. As you all know in Windows 7 if you touch a text box/anything which requires text input then the OSK pops up and then hides again when you touch off the box. Not so in Windows 10 and after doing a bit of forum hunting I can't find a suitable solution. Typing OSK into the start menu every time it is needed isn't great and there are reg fixes to make it available in the taskbar. There is even an option in Windows 10 settings to 'Automatically show the touch keyboard in windowed apps when there's no keyboard attached to your device' - but what if I also have a keyboard attached? So there are semi-workarounds but no fixes

 

So far I'm drawing a blank so any help would be great!!

 

Thanks

Sometimes I have to go in to Tablet mode to get the OSK back.

Im sure it only works the way you want it if in tablet mode. I could be wrong though.
