Windows 10: Cannot access touch keyboard

Rise of the Machines continues - this time the touch keyboard is on strike.


And, of course, the standard advice ''restart and set startup to automatic'' is useless because the restart option is not available and startup is already automatic.

Touch Keyboard Issues after Updates

Hi,

It is possible that the settings of the touch keyboard is having an issue and that can be the reason why it flickers. As an initial troubleshooting step, we recommend setting up the touch keyboard in "window mode" and change it back to "full screen mode"
to refresh its settings. To do this, follow these steps:

• Access the touch keyboard.
• On the upper left part of the touch keyboard, click the keyboard settings icon.
• On the second row, select the second option.
• Close the access the touch keyboard, and then re-open it.
• Check if it will flicker. If it did not flicker, access the touch keyboard settings icon again.
• On the second row, select the first option.
• Close the access the touch keyboard again, and then re-open it.
• Check if it will flicker.

We'll be waiting for the outcome.
