Windows 10: On-screen keyboard setting for touchscreen in windows 10 iot image

Hi everyone,

Recently i created an image for use on an embedded Asrock board. Connected to this board is a touchscreen for which i like to enable the on-screen keyboard automatically by the image.
I am using a kiosk mode with ShellLauncher and auto-login for the normal user. Now i have to login as user on all devices (by editing registry settings for the ShellLauncher and adjust settings in Settings -> Typing) for enabling the on-screen keyboard. Because this on-screen keyboard is a setting on a per user basis is there a way to accomplish this automatically?
Help is very appreciated.

Windows version: Windows 10 IoT LTSC 1809

Windows 10 LockScreen (IOT) slideshow - Spotlight

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Lock screen can be set to slideshow with the help of the steps below on every Windows normal version, you can try the same steps on your Windows 10 (IOT).

1. To change the lock screen to slideshow, you can go to
   Settings > Personalization > Lock screen.
   
2. From the Background drop down option, select
   Slideshow.
   
3. Click on Add a folder and select the image folder you have.
   

To change the Slide time to 6 seconds, you can make the changes from the registry.

1. Open registry navigate to
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lock Screen
   
2. Right click on the Right pane and create a new
   Dword(32-bit) Value key.
   
3. Name it SlideshowDuration Double click set the value to 6000 which is 6 seconds.
   

I would also suggest you to post your query on
TechNet for better resolution on this issue, if the steps above doesn’t help.



Hope it helps.

Below are the steps to bring your IoT Core powered devices to life:

• Click to
  Download IoT Core

Actually, IoT Core does not have a menu, that is the default application that comes installed on the sample image from Microsoft. When you create your device you would replace that default experience with the purpose driven application for your solution.
As for securing an IoT device, it really depends on its purpose and environment but for information on IoT Core you can find documentation at WindowsOnDevices.com. Specifically

ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD KEEPS POPPING UP ON TOUCHSCREEN

I have Windows 10. I have tried a dozen different suggestions to resolve the problem I have. After logging-in and getting to the desktop, as soon as I start typing the On-Screen Keyboard comes up on the touchscreen! I have tried going to Control Panel,
and Settings, Ease of Access or to the Pen and Touch or any other suggested option, no matter what I do the On-Screen Keyboard comes on!

I've also tried clicking on Start or Windows + Ctrl O - didn't work. Another suggestion was Windows + Ctrl U. That didn't work either.

Any help would be welcome as this is terribly aggravating and annoying!
