I'm curious to see if anyone else has the same problems that I had when using the virtual keyboard with Microsoft Edge.
I played around with various Windows 10 based 2 in 1s at the store and stumbled across a Surface Pro bundle (a Surface Pro 4 I think, 7th gen Intel?) that includes the keyboard for a good price. So I picked it up. After two hours of updates it was ready so I started logging into the various sites that I use. Except I put the Surface away in frustration because the virtual keyboard just doesn’t work.
Let me explain. If I click the URL bar (tablet mode without the keyboard attached), the virtual keyboard doesn’t always appear. Sometimes I have to tap twice.
Once the page has loaded, the virtual keyboard doesn’t disappear, even though no input fields on the page are selected. So I have to close it manually.
When I try to log into the BoardGameGeek website, when I tap the username field, the keyboard doesn’t appear, even when I tap several times. When I tap the password field, it appears. When I then tap the username field, the virtual keyboard disappears.
If I tap the URL bar and the virtual keyboard appears, it doesn't disappear when I tap say the page background. In my opinion, it should disappear as no input box is selected.
Have you experienced this if so, is it something you just learn to live with?
Thanks

Try giving chrome a try just to see if the issue occurs with that as well.
