On-Screen Keyboard bug changes foreground window

This On-Screen Keyboard bug changes the current foreground window.

Steps:

1. Open Edge and notepad and maximize them (never minimize them)
2. Select notepad by clicking on it in taskbar (it's now on top)
3. Open the On-Screen Keyboard (in Windows Ease of access)
4. Type a few characters into notepad with the On-Screen Keyboard
5. Minimize the On-Screen Keyboard
6. Select Edge by clicking on it in taskbar (it's now on top)
7. Restore the On-Screen Keyboard by clicking on it in taskbar and use it to type into Edge

Result:

Notepad is now on top

Expected result:

Edge remains on top i.e. the On-Screen Keyboard maintains the current foreground window in which you intended to type.

History:

This superuser Q&A contains links to this bug being reported in windows 8, windows 7 and claims it goes back 17 years to Windows XP.

Workarounds:

Kill the On-Screen Keyboard every time instead of minimizing it. The bug occurs because the On-Screen Keyboard fails to keep track of the current foreground window while minimized.

Patch out the SetForegroundWindow call from the On-Screen Keyboard binary as described in the superuser link above.

Wait 17 more years for Microsoft to fix it.

Tell user to stop being disabled.

 

Keyboard suddenly changed

While I was working on my PC on a Belgian keyboard setting with ! on the 8 key, my keyboard suddenly changed to a French keyboard. I have tried to put it back multiple times, using both Belgian period and comma keyboard settings but neither of them are actually putting it back to the settings I need. I can't afford to have to re-learn literally almost the entire keyboard.

Is there a way to get this keyboard layout back? I really need this fixed.

Thanks in advance,

Why can't I change the keyboard settings from ENG UK to ENG US for a Microsoft Digital Pro Media Keyboard in Windows 10?

Hello,

To assist you better, please answer the following question;

• What happens when you try to change the keyboard language when logged in other accounts?
• Have you installed the drivers for the keyboard in windows 10?

However. when installing the driver software, if prompted you may choose to install the driver and application for all users.



I also suggest you to try changing the keyboard layout manually and see if it helps.

Follow the steps;

1. Press Windows key + spacebar.


2. Choose the appropriate keyboard language.

Kindly reply to us, whether you are able to change the keyboard layout. We will be happy to assist you.
