Surface pro (1st gen) On Screen Keyboard size

[Ryan McFadden]

The on screen keyboard on the Surface pro is tiny in the new Windows 10 builds! It is probably 1/4 of the size that it was in Windows 8.1. Is there any way to enlarge it?

Thanks!

Weird on my sp1. the size is normal. Have you tried the enlarge button next to the X? It looks like a keyboard with a small arrow down below it.

 

[Ryan McFadden]

Yeah, I've tried that. I wonder if there is a way to reset it?

Well I just started on my 6th install of 10049 on my SP1, assuming all my issues are now fixed. I will play with the options and see if I can find something.

Alright, thanks for the help!

Have you tried switching keyboards with the keyboard button (bottom right corner)?

Have you tried playing around with the tablet mode toggle in the action center?

 

[Wevenhuis]

Have you tried keyboard options in the settings menu? (devices>typing) (ease of access>keyboard)

 

[Wevenhuis]

Have you tried changing screen orientation? (landscape>portrait>landscape; or vice versa)

Thanks for the suggestions but I have tried all of that stuff and nothing has helped.

I just fixed it! I disabled the driver for the SMART Virtual TabletPC and then re-enabled it and it went back to the correct size right away. Thanks for the suggestions.
