The screen keyboard keeps popping up when I don't want it to everytime I click on a box to type in any program. I am not using the touch screen. 

 

The only way I have found to prevent this is to open the on-screen keyboard as a separate window and minimise it.

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.

 

Turn Off the On-Screen Keyboard Settings

 

You can usually fix an on-screen keyboard that keeps popping up by adjusting the on-screen keyboard settings. Note that Windows 10 includes on-screen keyboard settings in both the Settings app and Control Panel. You can switch the on-screen keyboard off via both the Settings app and Control Panel as follows.

  • Press the Type here to search button on the taskbar to open Cortana.
  • Enter the keyword ‘ease of access’ in Cortana’s search box.

  • Select Ease of access keyboard settings to open the window shown directly below.

  • Toggle the Turns on the On-Screen Keyboard option off if it’s on.
  • To check the Use on-screen keyboard setting in the Control Panel, enter ‘ease of access’ in Cortana.
  • Select Ease of Access to open the Control Panel window as in the snapshot below.

  • Click Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard option to open the settings shown directly below.

  • Deselect the Use On-Screen Keyboard option, and remember to press the Apply the OK buttons.
