Windows 10: Last Windows 11 update reboots Touch Keyboard

Windows 11 Dell Laptop, Running thru Dell Docking station with external Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. Has been working fine for over a year. Nothing has changed except the Windows 11 update. The TouchKeyboard TabTip conflicts with my Sage Accounting software. Every time I go to save a receipt transaction with 10 or more line items, the program crashes. When I re-open Sage, the transaction has been saved, but system crashes every time I save one. If I disable the TouchKeyboard, everything works perfectly. Problem is, the last Windows 11 update evidently restored the Keyboard in some way

The touch keyboard is missing in the Windows 11 setup screens

Microsoft is aware of a known issue in Windows 11, version 22H2, that causes the touch keyboard to not appear in the Windows 11 setup screens after resetting Windows. Microsoft is currently working on a solution that will be released in an upcoming Windows update.

If you experience this issue, there are two options that will let you work around this issue. You can either:

1. Connect your device to a physical keyboard to complete Windows Setup, or
   
2. You can choose to shut down your device and restart Windows. The touch keyboard should appear after restarting.
