accidentally turned off my keyboard.....

[Frank Castle]

Last night and I have no idea what I did, but I have figured out how to access the on-screen keyboard since this is a touchscreen laptop so I'm actually typing this on the damn CPU screen.

Can anyone tell me how to restore my standard keyboard with the actual keys?? what did i press and how did I do it? I was in the middle of responding to a thread and it just happened

Have you tried going to settings?

Go to the Ease of Access section. Under Explore all settings, click on Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard: then uncheck the on screen KB option. and make sure it off from the start up with window too.
