Recently when not in tablet mode, the virtual keyboard will randomly pop up on the screen as I am typing or when I am changing tabs in my internet browser or going between various applications. However, I have not experienced the issue while in any Microsoft products such as word or excel.
Once the issue happens, it progressively worsens to the point of popping up with each new screen or area to input data.
I have tried the fixes listed on the forums of turning off the virtual keyboard (it was actually turned off, so I turned it on, rebooted, went in and turned it off again and rebooted). This did not correct the issue.
It it is rather bothersome as once the virtual keyboard pops up, the application in which I am working is almost completely hidden. Once I begin typing on the manual keyboard, the virtual keyboard will disappear or I can click the X in the upper right hand corner of the virtual keyboard to close it down. Either way, within a few keystrokes, it will appear again.
Any recommemded solutions on how to stop this from happening is greatly appreciated as it is extremely frustrating and time consuming to deal with constantly.
Thank you!
