*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

Sigh recent updates are resulting in several of my touchscreen devices to intermittently not bring up the on screen keypad or keyboard on the lock screen (so have to either bring up the accessibility keyboard or plug one in) or randomly when on the desktop not show it and the taskbar keyboard icon does nothing - requiring a forced restart of Windows Explorer. Even with the option set to always show it even when a keyboard is plugged in.

Why can't they even get the basics right.

Anyone else have the option to install the windows 11 2026-01 preview update KB5074105 on their machine?
 
This problem with touchscreen on screen keypads and keyboards not appearing is annoying me as while it is an inconvenience for me it will have a big impact for some people i.e. accessibility users and something they really should be getting right.
 

KB5077181 is a mandatory release, so it will install whether you like it or not, and we also recommend installing it for multiple good reasons. Gaming issues should now be fixed, at least for some of you


Just came through today

No update should be a "mandatory" release... sigh. Especially when Microsoft can't do quality updates to save their life.
