It is incredibly annoying. Also do you have a little icon in the upper right hand corner that does nothing and wont let you hit the RED X

Hello, 

If you have Windows 8, follow the steps below.

• Press the Windows key + W
• Type "services," and press Enter
• Scroll down to "Touch screen keyboard and handwriting panel"
• You can right click and select "Stop" or you can double-click and change it from "Automatic" startup to "Manual."

For Windows 7, click here to view an article that explains how to disable it. 

How to fix it in Windows 10?

Rodrigo, that is how you disable the Windows virtual keyboard.  The one he is talking about appears to be a Alpha UI virtual keyboard.  It is EXTREMELY annoying and I can not for the life of me figure out how to get rid of it.  I use my desktop mode a great deal, and this awful virtual keyboard pops up anytime I move the cursor into a text field.  Please tell us how to disable it?

This isn't the onscreen keyboard he's talking about. With a new Alienware Alpha update that was released this morning, they added an onscreen keyboard that pops up whenever a text field is selected. It's not the Windows 8 one, because that's disabled. Any idea how to disable this one? Here's a picture of it: puu.sh/.../15e45d8a44.jpg

Any luck with this? Because it is really annoying and I've looked everywhere to try and remove this, to no avail.

If you go into services and stop "Hivemind services" (pretty sure thats what it was called.. cant verify at the moment) that stops it from coming up. I have not done any testing to see if that will cause any problems after a reboot yet but if you're dying to get rid of that OSK, there you go.

unfortunately that didn't solve my issue. thank you though.

I just see an icon like the thumbstick of a joypad. No red x though.
