Dear Siwakorn Chatchumni,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum.

This issue is almost caused by Steam running in the background. Steam has a Desktop Layout feature that allows your controller to act as a mouse and keyboard when you aren't in a game.

You could try following these steps below to solve this issue:

1. Disable the desktop layout command in Steam:
   • Open Steam.
   • Click Steam in the top-left corner > Settings.
   • Go to the Controller tab in the left menu.
   • Scroll down to the Non-Game Controller Layouts section.
   • Click Edit next to Desktop Layout.
   • Look for the "Show Keyboard" command.
   • Select the button that has the keyboard icon next to it, then choose Remove Command.
   • While you are in the "Non-Game Controller Layouts" menu, also check "Guide Button Chord Layout" and remove any keyboard bindings there as well.
2. Disable Windows Touch keyboard icon:
   • Open Windows Settings (Press Windows + I).
   • Go to Time & language > Typing.
   • Expand the Touch keyboard section.
   • Uncheck/Disable the option that says "Show the touch keyboard when there's no keyboard attached".
3. Check Xbox game bar:
   • Press Windows + G to open the Game Bar.
   • Click the Settings cog > Shortcuts.
   • Check if there is a controller shortcut mapped to "Open keyboard" (often unrelated to the Start button, but worth checking).

I hope these steps could help. If you have any further issues, I'm here to assist.
