In addition to the on-screen keyboard, Windows 10 also ships with a touch-friendly keyboard called touch keyboard. Although the touch keyboard is mostly helpful for users running Windows 10 on a tablet-like Surface Pro or a PC with touch support, users on traditional computers can also use the touch keyboard as an on-screen keyboard.

With default settings, the touch keyboard offers two keyboard layouts: default keyboard and split or thumb keyboard. As you can see in the picture below, the normal and split keyboard layouts don’t display keys like Windows logo, Esc, Shift, Function, and Alt keys.

The default touch keyboard layout offers just 40 keys (excluding keyboard layout key), whereas the standard full keyboard layout offers over 65 keys.

If you often need to use the keys mentioned above, you need to enable and use the standard full keyboard layout on the touch keyboard. The standard full keyboard layout is turned off by default and needs to be turned on under Settings.

    Jonathan, could you tell me the version number of Windows 10? You can get version number by typing Winver.exe in Start menu search/Run command and pressing Enter key.

    The option is not shown on my computer. It may be because I don’t have a touch screen, so it assumes I don’t care?! Is there still a way to enable it (through Control Panel or Reg Edit)?
