    How to Turn On or Off Text Suggestions for Hardware Keyboard in Windows 10


    Starting with Windows 10 build 17035, Microsoft is introducing the ability to see text suggestions while typing on a hardware keyboard. You can see three text suggestions near caret while typing and choose candidates in text suggestions if you find a word you want to insert. Set focus to the first suggestion by tapping the up arrow key on your keyboard and using the left/right arrow keys to change focus. To select the desired candidate, tap space or enter.

    Text suggestions for hardware keyboard only supports the English (United States) language at this time.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off show text suggestions as you type on a hardware keyboard for your account in Windows 10.

  3. Clear "Text Suggestions" cache for Hardware Keyboard - Security hole

    I've just been upgraded to Windows 10 (May edition) from Windows 7.

    Having switched on "Show text suggestions" under Typing > Hardware keyboard I have found what I consider a potential security hole.

    At some point during setup I must have missed a tab when entering a User Name / Password into a UAC pop-up.

    Not normally a problem, except that Text Suggestions now suggests "UsernamePassword" as an autofill option when I get a UAC pop-up.

    I've plugged the hole for the moment by turning Text Suggestions off. but there are two issues

    1) Is there any way, other than reimaging my machine, to clear the cached suggestions?

    2) Why the heck is Windows harvesting any details from a UAC dialog?

    Can anyone help?

    Hardware Keyboard: Show text suggestions.... 'pending' becomes 'spending

    Wilfredo_Soto, that article seems to apply to Word.

    I am talking about the 'Show text suggestions ....' that is now part of Windows itself.
