So before my On-screen keybord would pop up only at start up even though it was disabled. It was annoying but I could deal with it.

Now it pops up almost everytime I open a new window or when an program needs a permission and I need to click Yes/No.

I've have it turned off in Ease-Of-Access and disabled in services but it still keeps happening. How do I get it to turn off?

I am on Windows 8.1

What might help is checking Task Manager "Startup" tab and looking for any entries about the OSK.

You can also try disabling it from regedit. I was able to find mentions of setting the key "ShowTabletKeyboard" to "0" (disabled) under

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI

That might only be for the logon screen but it could be worth a try.

This similar post has some good suggestions too. How can I keep the Windows 8 virtual keyboard from popping up?

  • I forgot to mention I did the regedit and it was already set to 0. I'll see if there is anything else I could try in the other thread. – Inku Aug 22 '18 at 20:00
