On-Screen keyboard not dockable anymore and action centre not editable

Question

Hello everyone,

after installing the recent 24H2 update (KB5052093) on my Surface Pro 7, I’m experiencing several frustrating issues with the on-screen keyboard:

• The keyboard is randomly no longer dockable. Now it just floats, and I can't get it to stay docked at the bottom of the screen. I had to increase the keyboard size to the maximum because it suddenly appeared way too small. (And no, I didn’t change my display scaling settings.)
• Furthermore is the little edit button on the action menu just gone. Unless you edit it in the registry, you can't edit your action menu and I've read posts in other forums about this issue. Why is this happening?

Honestly, it feels like Windows keeps getting worse with every update. These basic features used to work without issues, and now they’re just breaking one after another.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? Does anyone know if there's a fix or at least an explanation for what's going on?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Felix

• The small keyboard icon in the corner of the action menu to edit it is randomly missing now as well.

Answer 2

I have the same issue. I noticed the same thing. Table mode is gone, and the keyboard is no longer dockable.
