Windows 10: Touch Screen Keyboard

Hello,

Device:

Dell 7220 Rugged Extreme Tablet

OS:

Windows 10 1803


Problem:

Keyboard not available for Bitlocker PIN entry or at login screen. Requires manual opening from notification area at Windows Desktop.

Symptom of likely problem:

Under Settings > Typing their are no options for 'Touch Keyboard' as I've seen on other tablet devices in the environment.

Steps taken:

Enabled and disabled tablet mode from notification area
Changed tablet mode settings to all options; "Appropriate settings", "Tablet Mode", "Desktop Mode"

Changed registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\ShowTabletKeyboard to 1
Attempted to stop the "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" - unable to stop the service
Attempted to change the default start up behavior of above service from 'manual' to 'automatic'. Service always reverts back to 'manualtriggered'

:)

 

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)

I have an old tablet pc, motion computing C5. When I click the keyboard button in the taskbar,
the touch screen keyboard comes up. Problem is its the handwriting option, not the default qwerty keyboard.
any ideas how to get it back to the default???

I want this when I click the touch screen keyboard button in the taskbar:




But instead I get this as the default:




And it won't remember they last keyboard I used

 

Touch screens

i can only do about 30 on my wildfire as at that point the processor starts to lag and i can end up being about 10-15 seconds ahead of what i'm typing

i would really like a spell check program that works in real time and as good as HTC's
