On-screen Keyboard

[geisslingen]

I know this might be a silly question but lately I have been getting the On-screen keyboard coming out automatically whenever I start my Surface 2. Tried to find where I can switch it off but was unsuccessful. I have the Type keyboard always attached to the Surface 2.

If the on screen keyboard is coming while the touch keyboard is attached that means that your touch keyboard may be broken or you have a problem with it's driver.

You have it coming up when you *don't* want it? Mine doesn't come up (in metro mode) when I *do* want it.

Dear god Microsoft, what is this madness.

Yes, the on-screen keyboard popup windows is displayed when I login after a starting Surface 2, I do not run anything or set it up to be displayed. I have the type (not touch) keyboard and it is permanently attached and works just fine. Maybe a driver issue? or some error related to the keyboard?

I sort of have the same thing as geisslingen, but mine mainly come up when I have shut it down and restart it.

I just touched this field to type in it (Type Cover 2 attached) and the OSK popped up. Very annoying. I think it's sporadic though and if I restart it will probably go away. I used to have bad problems with the Type Cover not being recognized after sleep, but those seem to have gone away after a Windows Update.

Are you confusing the Accessibility on-screen keyboard with the touch screen windows 8 one? They do seem to be different...

 

[geisslingen]

What I see when I start my Surface 2 is the accessibility on-screen keyboard, even when I switch it off in the accessibility settings. It is not a big deal as I close it off every time I start S2, but I don't understand why it comes up as a default every time.
