1] Check the Fade button

Check the Fade button which you see in the bottom right corner. If it is enabled, it lets the onscreen keyboard fade in the background. Tap the button, and the keyboard should be visible again.

2] Windows Touch Keyboard Troubleshooter

3] Restart the On-screen keyboard process

When found, hit the drop-down arrow adjacent to it, right-click on ‘On-screen Keyboard‘ option and right-click it. Then, click on ‘End Task‘. Once done, open the ‘Run‘ dialog box, type ‘osk.exe‘ and press ‘Enter‘.
