This tutorial will show you how to reset the touch keyboard open position on screen to default on the main display for your account in Windows 11.
Windows 11 includes a touch keyboard you can click/tap on to enter text. This can be handy if you have a PC with a touchscreen without a physical keyboard.
The touch keyboard opens at the same position and same display as last closed by default.
EXAMPLE: Touch keyboard default open position on screen
Here's How:
1 Click/tap on the Download button below to download the BAT file below.
Reset_touch_keyboard_open_position_on_screen_to_default.bat
(Content of BAT file for reference)
Code:
@echo off
REG Delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" /V OptimizedKeyboardRelativeXPositionOnScreen /F
REG Delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7" /V OptimizedKeyboardRelativeYPositionOnScreen /F
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe
2 Save the .bat file to your desktop.
3 unblock the .bat file.
4 Double click/tap on the .bat file to run it.
5 You will now notice your screen flicker and a command prompt quickly open and close as the explorer process is restarted to apply the registry changes.
6 You can now delete the downloaded .bat file if you like.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
