How to Disable Windows 10 Xbox Virtual Keyboard and Volume Controls

XboxFailureNeverSurprises · Jun 27, 2020

So i don't want the Xbox fake keyboard popping up while i'm trying to play a game.

I also don't want pressing down taking control of the volume controls and making my volume go down, like while i'm playing a game....

I'm trying to play a game, ya know like a normal person by pressing the buttons on the controller..... the game isn't even online and i have a USB keyboard attached why is this even a thing? it's like microsoft doesn't understand gamers lol.

Hi,

Do you want to disable the virtual keyboard or Xbox controller access in Windows 10? Please explain more about your issue.

Is this a windows 10 issue or Xbox one issue?

I have the exact same problem, the xbox one controller totally disables keyboard input in games. Just yesterday I was able to play with the controller using the chatpad for keyboard shortcuts, today I come to find Windows 10 had an update and now I can't
use either the chatpad or the keyboard in the games with controller support.

Unfortunately right now there is no way to disable the virtual keyboard right now :c

But you can suggest this idea / feature here:

If more people vote your idea, can be considered or implemented in a future Xbox update

Right now there is no other way :c
I looked for something similar in the past and nothing.

For now you can try suggesting this feature / giving the idea in the insiders subreddit:
