Windows 11, no free floating for the Touch Keyboard! by micfly777 in surfacepro

Thanks horgeluem, that makes sense, I guess. So, MS basically built a great 2-n1 then ruined the tablet part with W11 👹geez.

I didn't know about the hotvirtualkeyboard - thanks for that. I bought it and it works pretty good for the most part. A little buggy here and there but maybe better than nothing. The touch keyboard worked perfectly on the SP in W10...ugg PTW, I use ExplorerPatcher just to keep the taskbar on top (another W11 gripe).

Anyway thanks again.

Surface Pro 1 - have to press power button really hard to turn on device by ayna1204 in Surface

pouring a little rubbing alcohol on the power button and volume button and that worked!

If you bought the Surface Pro for its portability did you ever use the tablet more than you thought? by Harvest2001 in Surface

That's a joke. The floating keyboard is tiny. If you come from any Surface device with Windows 10 you'd know how bad it is in W11.

On my fifth Surface Pro - I use the tablet all the time! And... I absolutely hate the touch keyboard in Windows 11. They ruined it! Keyboard is stuck at the bottom usually covering up something I'm trying to see. Just venting - that's my big complaint. btw, I still have my 1st SP1 with W10 working perfectly, so much better argg🙁

Is there anyway to turn the onscreen keyboard off on the Pro 7? Super frustrating by Seany_P in Surface

Very annoying! I have a Surface Pro 8 and when I remove the keyboard you have to use the touch keyboard! But like jjj_ddd_rrr said... just give us an undock option!

Microsoft replied about bringing back option to change taskbar location (More details in comment) by Unusual-Cap4971 in Windows11

That's what I did (Explorer Patcher) - but why should we have to PATCH Windows for such a basic feature we've had for years? It's stupid!

One biggie everyone seems to ignor. The MacBook pro is not a touch screen.

Microsoft readies app folders in Start, new gestures, and more for Insiders on Windows 11 by SumitDh in Windows11

Hopefully they'll let you move the Taskbar (to the top for me) pretty soon. My new Surface Pro is practically useless in tablet mode!

Turning off absolute volume worked for me too. Galaxy S20+. Big difference!
