Tablet mode in Windows 10 -- No virtual keyboard?

Hi JEFF BELL-HANSON,

I had the same problem. The touch keyboard would not work any more. I had not changed anything other then updating windows 10. I found the solution to the problem Here Windows
10 touch keyboard not popping up? Fix it!

"How to make the Windows 10 touch keyboard pop up automatically:

• Press WinKey + R to pop up the “Run” menu and enter services.msc

• Hit OK and you will reach the Services panel. There in the list, find Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service.
• Right click and select Properties. In the General tab, change the Startup Type to Automatic or Automatic (Delayed Start). Either of those will do.
• Now check if the keyboard pops up when you try to enter text.
• If it does not, restart your computer and see if it works.
• If it still does not, again go to the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service and open properties. This time, open the Dependencies tab and you will find a list of processes quoted as “The service depends on the following
  components”.
• Now close the properties window and check the list of Services and make sure that the services mentioned above are either “Running” or in “Automatic” mode. If they are disabled, you should enable them.
• Now again find the Touch Keyboard service and enable it as Automatic.
• See if this works for you!"

I hope this helps.
