Windows 10: Is there a way to force the Login Pin-pad and Touch Kyboard to automatically appear on a...

Hi,


I use an older (non-touchscreen) Windows 10 PC and the majority of the time use an air-mouse device and Onscreen Keyboard to navigate and input, not the physical keyboard.


Is there a way to enable touch support (though my PC doesn't have a touchscreen) so that when I click on a text input dialogue box with my mouse, the Touch Keyboard automatically appears and I can enter the information with my mouse?


I currently use the Onscreen Keyboard when logging in by opening it through the Ease of Access menu, and have the Touch Keyboard button shown on my taskbar, but would like to know how to bring it up automatically?


Thanks,


DJW

Windows 10 Login Screen OSK/PIN Pad

Hi,

I had the same problem. I've created a PIN on my tablet for login, but it appeared only for the first login. Important to note that I have my on-screen keyboard set to show the full layout, so I was only getting the regular OSK and not the PIN pad on logins.

I thought, give it a try and set it to the regular touch layout. And with that the layout changes automatically to the PIN pad style while on the login screen.

I hope this helps.

Why doesn't the touch screen PIN pad always show up?

I am running a Microsoft Surface 3 LTE (not a Pro) with Windows 10. I currently have it set for login via PIN. Unfortunately, the touch screen PIN pad does not reliably appear on the login screen when

There are two situations in which the PIN pad seems to appear more reliably:

1. I explicitly and "manually" lock the machine via the Start menu, rather than simply closing the TypeCover or letting it timeout and sleep.
   
2. I reboot the machine immediately after it turns on.
   

It's probably worth mentioning that I regularly use my Surface 3 LTE both with and without the TypeCover installed. It only appears to be relevant so far as it can lock the system without doing via the Start menu.

I've seen "Touch Keyboard on Windows 10 Logon Screen". None of the solutions there (Tablet Mode in one answer, and using the Accessibility Keyboard in the other) are acceptable.

I've also looked at "Windows 10 Lock Screen: No Keyboard", and none of the solutions there work.

 

touch pad login

I used to get a number pad to enter my pin number. All I get now is the regular login form but I can put my pin in using the keyboard. I would like to put my pin in with the touch screen. How do I get that back>?
