Windows 10: Fumbled with keyboard and somehow enabled "Cinema" mode?

Some combination of either ctrl, fn, win, alt and another key popped up a window that said "Cinema." Of course I subsequently pressed something else and it went away so I couldn't read the entire message. Now everything appears slight faded/less bright and can't find anything in the display settings to correct it. Totally lost here.

Permanently Enable Virtual Touch Keyboard in Desktop Mode

Hi,



Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

If you want to enable the Touch keyboard follow the steps

• Right Click on the taskbar
• Click on Show touch keyboard button
• Then you will be able to see the keyboard in the taskbar, whenever it’s required you can just click on the icon on the taskbar.

It is not possible to disable the Auto-hide behavior of touch keyboard in Windows 10, whenever you use
the physical keyboard then it will automatically hides the Touch Keyboard.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

Make the keyboard to open automatically when switching on tablet mode, and enabling Swift-key keyboard

Hi John,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to make the keyboard open automatically whenever the tablet mode on PC is turned on.



However, currently the feature is not available to open the keyboard automatically in tablet mode. I suggest you to provide your valuable feedback using the

feedback hub app on Windows 10, as this feature can be very useful for others also.



Also, the difference between touch keyboard and on-screen keyboard is that, on-screen keyboard will be available in both desktop mode and tablet mode. However, touch keyboard will only be available when the PC is switched to tablet
mode.



To turn on the swift key keyboard, you can follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Go to Settings >
   Devices > Typing.
   
2. Scroll down and click on
   Suggestions and auto-corrections.
   
3. Now toggle the switch to
   On for the respective language you want to use the Swift-key keyboard.
   

Once the button is toggled for the language, you will be able to use the Swift-key keyboard by clicking on the touch keyboard button on the bottom right corner of the taskbar.



For additional information you can refer the article

Windows 10 Tip: SwiftKey.



Hope it helps.
