On-screen keyboard error when starting native OSK

When I open the Windows On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) (Link Target: %windir%\system32\osk.exe) I get this error.

When I click OK, the Windows OSK appears.

Why is this error appearing?

Welcome to our community, @karl.

It seems that the installation is corrupted. You may need to uninstall Keyman via Control Panel, then correctly reinstall Keyman. A helpful guide to follow is How To - Download and Install Keyman.

Should there be further questions, please let us know. Thanks!

Hey @mengheng, out of curiositity I just tried this on my machine, and got exactly the same error!

Thanks for the report @karl. I am going to take a look at this more closely – certainly should not be happening. It’s definitely a weird one; it doesn’t happen with any other app that I’ve been able to find, just osk.exe.

I’ve opened an issue for further investigation: #13441

Thanks for checking, @Marc.

I got the OSK using %windir%\system32\osk.exe to open fine on Windows 10 with Keyman 17.0.335.
