It's lovely, isn't it. It's the Windows 8 on-screen keyboard, except I don't need or want to see it. I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch and it already has a keyboard. I will never ever want to use the Windows 8 touch keyboard. Unfortunately there is no checkbox or 'just turn it off' way to disable the keyboard with a supported option. However, there is a way to effectively disable the keyboard by stopping the service that controls it.
An onscreen keyboard can be a powerful tool for screencasters. This tutorial will show you how to turn on the onscreen keyboard. Hi guys, I feel stupid asking that but how do you enable keyboard and mouse on screen in BDO? I saw a lot of people use that, but I wasn't able to find it i.

• Press the Windows key + W • Type 'services,' and press Enter • Scroll down to 'Touch screen keyboard and handwriting panel' • You can either right click and 'Stop' or you can double-click and change it from 'Automatic' startup to 'Manual.' This will of course, disable both the touch keyboard and handwriting service, so you'll lose handwriting recognition. This was totally worth it to me and has made my touch screen laptop experience much better, especially when I'm using the Full Screen Browser. I hope this helps!
Note that if you have a touch only device, or a detachable keyboard, you could get yourself into a tough spot without an on-screen keyboard, so just have your mouse ready and a plan to turn this service back on if you get in trouble.;) If you're having any other problems with Windows 8, I encourage you to check out my simple.

Hi Scott, On my Win 8/64 Pro desktop machine, Windows-Key+W does nothing. I always disable Windows dog-slow Search facility, and replace it with the speed-demon freeware 'Agent Ransack' utility, which is at least twenty times faster, and provides substantially more functionality. My guess is: disabling Windows search also disables the Windows-Key+W keyboard short-cut. To get to the Services configuration facility I use: Windows-Key+R, followed by typing in: services.msc You can also access the Services facility, of course, via menu: Start/Administrative Tools/Services.
I am using Start8 to bypass Modern, and have ripped every shred of Modern, and all default Windows Modern facilities, I can, out of the OS. Thanks for reminding me of yet another service I can disable! Thanks, Bill. Well, I'm trying to figure out why you'd actually want to do this? The onscreen keyboard popups in Metro/Modern/Whatsitcallednow apps whenever an input element receives focus via touch. Now if I'm assuming correctly, you're using touch to focus on to a textbox because it's faster than sliding the cursor to it and then getting irritated that the soft keyboard pops up.
But the softkeyboard auto hides the moment you start typing on the physical keyboard, so it has to be because it's irritating isn't it? Well, enter a suggestion to the MS feedback mail and ask for a setting to disable the soft keyboard for touch screen notebooks then. At the same time could you please remind them the touch cursor in DESKTOP mode is something they should bring back?:P. Just like TEXAS said the service is no longer enabled on the list but it still loads the tactile keyboard every time it boots up.
It is not a real bother but since I don´t have a touch screen laptop it seems absurd that it continues to load and win 8.1 doesn´t have a way to get rid of these annoying things. By the way, I assume this is the new paradigm and must be great on a tablet but a lot of us have machines that will run 8.1 just fine but will never have touch screens so why aren´t these services and interface configurable. I use an i Pad and understand the need for tiles on a tablet but they are of no use in a non touch environment.
