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 will automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence by default.
This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off capitalize the first letter of each sentence while using the touch keyboard for your account in Windows 11.
Capitalize the first letter of each sentence will not work while using the traditional keyboard layout option on the touch keyboard.
