Windows 10: Keyboard not disabling when folding x360 screen

Hi there,Recently my HP Spectre x360 updated to Windows 11 late I know but 10 was fine for me, and now when I flip the screen to write on with the stylus for my university work, the keyboard does not disable like it did for Windows 10. This causes irritable issues using OneNote where I can be annotating things and suddenly the screen jumps around and types gibberish everywhere.I've tried uninstalling the keyboard driver and restarting the laptop but that has not worked. I understand for Windows 10 the keyboard and trackpad disabled automatically for Tablet mode which no longer exists for Win

Disabling laptop keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

• Press Windows + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
• Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
  
• Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
  Uninstall.
• Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.

Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
in order to uninstall it again.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

how do I disable on screen keyboard in windows 10 ?

This does NOT work as there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard in Ease of Access

Windows 10 Pro

Build no: 10586.1007

Ver: 1511

This **** VIRTUAL KEYBOARD is a major pain in the ass!

Is there a registry edit that can kill it, PERMANENTLY

Thank You (I hope)
