Windows 10: The touch keyboard is missing in the Windows 11 setup screens

I have Windows 11, version 22H2, installed on my tablet PC. Since it’s a tablet, I use the touch keyboard to type directly on the touchscreen. I needed to reset Windows, and now I’m going through Windows setup screens, however the touch keyboard isn’t appearing in the setup screens this time. As a result, I can’t enter a password on the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen to proceed to the next step.

Touch screens

I can do 60 words per minute on my phone, perhaps more now as I've got used to the phone. ( htc desire z, using the stock onscreen keyboard)

Touch screen + predictive text I recon I could equal my keyboard typing speed. Maybe beat it depending on how advance the predictions are.

( hard to use predictive software on traditional keyboards as there is no way to quickly choose the suggested word, where as touch screen keyboards can have the suggested words appear above the function keys)

 

Touch Keyboard Settings missing

Hi Graham,

• Have you installed all the pending Windows updates? If not I suggest you to check.

Also I suggest you to check whether the devices are governed or configured through group policy as you mentioned multiple devices used in a domain environment such as hospitals.

I suggest you to check whether the Onscreen Keyboard is working or not. Refer to the below steps and check if it helps.

• Press Windows + U and select the On-Screen Keyboard from the Ease of Access
  list. Or click on Ease of Access at bottom right and select
  On-Screen Keyboard from the list.
• Then use you cursor to type the password with On-Screen Keyboard.
• Before clicking the login, press the eye symbol (I.e. Reveal Password) option in the password field, to see the password is correct.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you.

 

Some Touch Keyboard settings are missing

When using my Surface Pro 3 with Windows 8.1, if I try to access the Touch Keyboard settings, they seem to be missing. Specifically there is an option "Choose when to activate the touch keyboard" which when clicked on takes me to the Narrator Ease of Access
options. If I go down the list and click the keyboard in the menu on the left it takes me to the On Screen Keyboard settings, which is a separate process.

If I go to the PC and devices settings, and then Typing, I see a Touch Keyboard subsection that is also missing that behavior option. There was a setting that controlled the Touch Keyboard's behavior when using a windowed application, but it seems to be
missing. Is this a bug, or was it intentionally removed?
