Choose the accessibility keyboard deliberately
Microsoft distinguishes the On-Screen Keyboard from the touch keyboard. The OSK can be used without a touchscreen through a mouse or another pointing method. Identify the actual tool you are using before following instructions, particularly on a shared device where its existing access method may already be configured for someone.
Open the supported route
Microsoft documents Settings, Accessibility, Keyboard and the On-Screen Keyboard switch. Use a harmless text field or navigation control for the first comparison. The tool can also appear through accessibility controls at sign-in, but a service’s website login remains a separate interface with its own account requirements.
Check Nav and General
Microsoft documents a simplified Nav layout with navigation keys and a General layout with standard keys. The OSK remembers the last layout, including across closing and reopening it. If letter keys appear missing, inspect that layout choice before reinstalling an app or concluding that a password field blocks text input.
Use the intended input method
The documented Options include click, hover and scanning methods with relevant timing controls. Keep the method that suits the user and test a non-sensitive example before entering account information. A successful key selection establishes an input result; it does not verify a recipient, grant programme access or ensure that a custom player exposes every control meaningfully.
Questions, answered
Does OSK require a touchscreen?
No. Microsoft describes other pointing and switch methods.
Will reopening always restore the full letter layout?
No. Microsoft says the last Nav or General layout is retained.
