    I have no problem getting to the settings (Win+I), but in the general tab there is nothing about touchscreen. How did you get this settings selection.

    If you notice the button for the pop up on the bottom right hand corner is missing in my first post picture. The culprit was Microsoft Mouse with no borders program. Now I think I have to try synergy to do the multi desktop mouse thingy

    But I want to have access to these keys - e.g.: Windows-key + PrtScr for making screenshots (stored as PNG file in "My Pictures")

    Or so. But why not have this keyboard layout instead of the crippled "touch keyboard" ?

    Dude, this is just a touch keyboard for tablets with Windows 8. So you won't get those extra keys here. If you want those, you can activate the On-Screen Keyboard by pressing Win+U and selecting Start On-Screen Keyboard.

    I have found the cause....it was a conflict with the Microsoft garage mouse without borders program...for some reason, when that is installed the option disappears. I uninstall it and it came back. Hope Microsoft fixes it as it was really a good progam.
