Windows 10: Windows 11: Toggling "Touch Keyboard" from taskbar keyboard button, other touch keyboard...

Hello,The Windows 11 Touch Keyboard is a step backwards from the prior Windows 10 Touch Keyboard which was also frustratingly lacking in features and suffered from a multitude of issues due to poor UI design and constant bugs.I don't expect Microsoft to ever fix any of the issues currently plaguing the Windows 11 Touch Keyboard because... well, it's Microsoft... but at least please give me the ability to toggle/hide & show the Touch Keyboard from the taskbar button as was standard on previous versions of Windows. It's a touch keyboard... it's supposed to be user-friendly and designed fo

touch screen keyboard


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

 

No touch keyboard

What model computer are you referring to, in your system specs it says PC/Desktop
When I select a touch keyboard my selection does not change until I change it.

You could try a different keyboard to see if that makes a difference, this is the one I use
• Settings
• Devices
• Typing
• Turn On Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option
When you launch the on-screen keyboard click/tap the bottom right keyboard icon and you can now select the far right option
Also, try toggling (turning On or Off) Show the touch keyboard or handwriting panel when not in tablet mode and there is no keyboard attached to see if that helps

There is also the Windows On-Screen Keyboard which can be handy sometimes. It's main benefit is that it's size can be adjusted and it can be moved around the screen, it will also stay on screen until you exit it.
To find the Windows On-Screen Keyboard and create a quick link to it:
• Launch Search (Win Key + S)
• Type in on-screen keyboard
• Right click on the result and select you preference of Pin to Start or Pin to Taskbar

If you want to create a shortcut then select Open File Location
• Right click On-Screen Keyboard
• Select Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
• You can then move that shortcut to wherever you want

Good luck
