No iPad keyboard remote access

This has not happened to me before. Remote desktop access to Windows 10 PC from iPad has worked fine. But recently when I opened Outlook.com app on the desktop, I could not get a keyboard to open on the tablet, so couldn't really do anything. Could just be a mismatch bug between TeamViewer and outlook.com app, but thought I would mention it.

This solution almost worked, but led me to a complete solution. The problem with the PC on-screen keyboard is that it was too large to see all the keys. So, I opened it on the PC and drug the corner down to make it smaller. But that still only showed a half of the keyboard on the iPad. So I opened it again, and drug the entire keyboard to the bottom left of the screen. That seems to have solved this problem. Again, I have only seen this with Outlook.com, but I haven't explored all possible uses of the remote desktop yet. I LOVE this product as it actually works!

Hi @lehmanbob

Did you enable the on-screen keyboard from the setting menu in Windows?

You can do that if you open the Start menu and write the command

%windir%\system32\osk.exe

It will open the "screen keyboard" instantly. Then, you can pin the icon at the Taskbar and you can have the virtual keyboard just by clicking on it.

Please update with further results.

Best regards
