1. Make sure you're running the latest release of Secure Lockdown which you can download from the product page of our website.
2. Be sure you're not starting in Windows Tablet mode. Desktop Mode only
3. Be sure the Windows Settings > Multitasking feature is disabled (Snap) and the Virtual Desktop settings are set to "Only the desktop I'm using".
4. Be sure that the Windows Settings > Devices > Typing > Show the touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there's no keyboard attached option enabled.
5. You may want to enable the Windows Settings > Devices > Typing > Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option so that you have access to the Alt+Shift+S key sequence
6. Be sure the Secure Lockdown System Lockdown > Local Level > No Desktop option is not set (unchecked).
7. Be sure that no physical input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc) are attached to the device.
8. Some touch screens are connected via USB. If you're using the Chrome browser in this case, be sure to start Chrome with the following command line switch: "--disable-usb-keyboard-detect" Otherwise, Chrome will think a physical keyboard is attached and wont launch the Touch Keyboard

Following the above will ensure that the Windows 10 virtual keyboard will appear when entering an input field in your Windows Desktop application (win32/classic).

Could it be the problem, because my Chrome is 64bit?

Under Windows Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Mouse, keyboard, & pen, there should be no mouse or keyboard listed that is connected.

Hello, again!
I did everything as you suggested and find out interesting conclusion.
Virtual keyboard shows from every other application (Explorer, Internet Explorer, ... ) in desktop (not tablet) mode, but not from Chrome (neither 32 or 64bit latest version). So I can't use your SL - Chrome Edition.
Any other suggestion?

Hi Vasja:

We use a Chrome Extension, Virtual Keyboard by xontab.com.  

It fits our needs with a locked down Chrome browser app.

Cheers,
Peter

No. In Chrome (but only in Chrome) virtual keyboard without Tablet mode simply won't show either with or without SL enabled.

Please confirm all of the steps outlined in this thread. We have customers with 1000's of Secure Lockdown - Chrome Edition using touch tablets/screens whereby the Windows Touch Keyboard works as expected in Chrome. Try setting up a different tablet if possible. Also, make sure you're not using the Windows on-screen keyboard found in Windows Accessibility. Make sure you're using the Windows Touch Keyboard.
