Hi! @Gabbeyn2, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!

I understand the screen has turned upside down on your PC and you would like to know how to disable the touchscreen keyboard on your PC.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your PC?

Please share the product number of your PC to assist you better.

Try the steps recommended below.

Rotate Screen with a Keyboard Shortcut

Hit CTRL + ALT + Up Arrow and your Windows desktop should return to landscape mode. You can rotate the screen to portrait or upside-down landscape, by hitting CTRL + ALT + Left Arrow, Right Arrow or Down arrow.

Right click on the desktop and selct Display settings.

Choose a screen to fix if you have multiple monitors attached. Skip this step if you have only one.

Select Landscape from the orientation menu

Click Apply (or OK)

Click Keep Changes when prompted.

Also, Try the steps recommended below.

Turn On or Off Show Touch Keyboard in Desktop Mode when No Keyboard Attached in Settings

1. Open Settings, and click/tap on Devices.

2. Click/tap on Typing on the left side, and turn On or Off (default) Show the touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there's no keyboard attached under Touch keyboard on the right side for what you want. (see screenshot below)

3. You can now close Settings if you like.
 

To disable the touchscreen keyboard try the steps recommended below.

• 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."

If the Tablet Mode that you are stuck in is Microsoft Windows 10 related, here are some steps that may help you disable Tablet Mode and return to the Normal view. 

• Click or tap the Start button
• Launch the Settings app
• Click or tap on "System"
• In the left pane of the screen, scroll down to the bottom until you see "Tablet Mode"

@Gabbeyn2, 

I am responding on behalf of @A4Apollo as he is out for the day. It is great to have you back and your patience is greatly appreciated.

I reviewed your conversation and understand that you want to disable the onscreen keyboard.

In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need a few more details.

• When was the last time the computer was working fine?
• Are you getting the onscreen keyboard from the time you log in or when you launch an application?
• Does this happen only in the tablet mode?
• Have you made any software or hardware changes on the computer?

While you respond to that, I recommend you disable tablet mode on the computer and check whether it resolved the issue.

Here is how it is done.

1. Click the Action Center button in the Taskbar.
   
2. When Action Center opens, click the Tablet Mode.
   

You can also enter Tablet Mode using the Settings app:

1. Open Settings > System > Tablet Mode.
2. Make sure that Make Windows more touch-friendly when using your device as a tablet is turned On.
   
3. If you want, you can also change how your device will work when you automatically switch Tablet Mode on or off.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Cheers!
