Windows 10: How to stop touch keyboard from following cursor to non-touch secondary display in Windows 11

I want to stop the touch keyboard from following my cursor to a secondary non-touch display. This is the same issue identified in this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/win10-touch-keyboard-keeps-appearing-on-second-non/29bfb5a7-9c1a-4209-894a-a0c18c2e2b2e?correlationid=991f8b6c-7017-4ae2-a9ab-63e383bd6288&from=ContactUsWebBCQR&page=2. The issue was not resolved and is still a problem in Windows 11. This seems like a bug that Windows must fix by having an option on the touch keyboard to pin it to one display.

Windows 11 - Touch keyboard is appearing on non-touch displays

As in the title, any time I select a field on one of my non-touch displays the touch keyboard is appearing there and cannot be placed on the main, touch screen display by default.

 

Win10 touch keyboard keeps appearing on second non-touch monitor

Hi, I have just freshly installed Windows 10 (build 1607) and this problem still occurs.

I have a normal Dell monitor set up as my secondary monitor and a Wacom Cintiq 27QHD set up as my primary monitor (it is set as my primary and directly above my secondary Dell, both set to same resolution). Only the wacom is touch and pen enabled but the
touch keyboard often pops-up on my non touch Dell monitor. It does it very often. I think it is caused by having the 'live' browser window on the Dell when I press the keyboard button on my Wacom.

I have checked tablet settings and the wacom is set for both pen and touch and the Dell is set to neither (it is disabled as touch and pen which Windows detected itself), yet the touch keyboard still appears on the Dell, so IMO this is clearly a bug which
Windows has had for a long time.

To reproduce:

1. Start machine with one touch monitor (set as primary, mine is also set to extended and below) and a secondary non-touch monitor.

2. Open browser window and move on to secondary non touch monitor. Also open a settings window (I think any window should work) on to the primary monitor.

3. Use mouse to click on and select the settings window on primary monitor

4. Use mouse to click on and select the browser window on secondary monitor

5. Now press the touch keyboard icon in lower right of the primary monitor

Result: The keyboard pops-up on the secondary monitor despite Windows recognising it as a non touch enabled display.

Does anyone have a fix for this as it is infuriating and means I have to use mouse to drag the keyboard back down to my touch monitor or have to select a window on my primary and then close and open the keyboard (which doesn't always work...sometimes reapears
on the secondary monitor).

Thanks for your time to read my woes!
