    Setting Handwriting Input as Default Method for Stylus or Finger Input

    Hey. Following upgrade from Win8.1 to Win10 there appears to be a bar on setting handwriting input as the default method. In Win8.1 the last selected input method is kept for use next time, but in Win10 this behaviour continues for all the other methods
    except for handwriting input. With Win10 when handwriting is used last the input panel resets to tablet keyboard next time.

    This particular tablet does not have a pen capable screen and so does not default to handwriting input like say a Surface Pro. This Win10 behaviour makes capacitive styluses painful to use for handwriting as its appears the input panel logic settings/design
    has not cater for this possibility very well, requiring a user in this situation to manually change input method to handwriting every time the input panel is invoked.

    Suggestions of a fix or a workaround would be greatly appreciated.

    Handwriting recognition input doesn't work

    Hi, I have a Surface Book. The handwriting recognition and input works great in Word and Firefox, but when I try to input handwriting and have it converted to text in some other apps (e.g. Foxit PDF Reader), it doesn't work. I can bring up the handwriting
    input panel and my handwriting is recognised, but when I click on the word it just doesn't appear in the desired textbox. Is this n issue with the app or with Windows? Any ideas on how to fix this, or alternatively any suggestions for a good PDF reader that
    supports it? Cheers
