Quite often it happens that either of your keyboard’s keys might not be functioning properly. And it is very common that the keyboard’s keys malfunction. Under such circumstances, you can use a very handy feature in Windows 10 that is “enabling on screen keyboard” and using the keyboard by clicking it with your mouse pointer.
It isn’t necessary that you only need the on-screen keyboard when your physical keyboard isn’t working. There can be several other reasons or someone is too lazy to maneuver his/her shoulders.
Moreover, sometimes in multiplayer games kids use on screen keyboard as a secondary keyboard for the second player. Your Windows’ virtual keyboard works just like a casual physical keyboard, even you can use keyboard shortcuts with this keyboard too.
Well, below I have shared 5 different ways to turn on-screen keyboard on in Windows 10. Please take your time to follow through the steps with relevant images.
