On Screen Keyboard turn off?

[ZeusXI]

Im running windows 10, and i have a touchscreen. A lot of the time, when i open a new tab, the OSK pops up, and then once i start typing it goes away. Is there anyways to disable it so it doesnt pop up all the time?

It sounds like you may have tablet mode on, or turn on in some conditions, make sure that is disabled and then if that does not fix it, go to ease of access center and make sure osk is disabled there.

Go to Settings > Devices > Typing

And turn off: "Show the touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there is no keyboard attached"

Are you using the touch screen to create a new tab?

I think the problem is that Windows doesn't see your keyboard attached until it gets an input. So probably the problem is the keyboard drivers.

The good news, is that it is easy to fix. Open the Services panel (Type in the search box: Services, and pick it). A panel will open. Look for " Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service ", and double click on it. On that panel that will appear after double click on the item, hit the "Stop" button, and above, in the dropdown list, pick: "Disable". Click on OK, and close the Service panel. Now, it should not appear again.
