How can I disable suggestions on the touch screen keyboard on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2? I have disabled suggestions for the physical keyboard, but I can find no corresponding setting for the touch keyboard.

Hello Tony Long.

Since the Windows 11 IoT LTSC interface often hides the touch settings found in the Pro edition, you will need to jump into the registry to disable those suggestions. You need to press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box. Type regedit into that box and hit Enter to launch the Registry Editor and head over to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7 and look for a DWORD named EnableTextPrediction; setting this to 0 will strip the suggestion bar from the touch layout. If you don't see the entry EnableTextPrediction, just right-click to create them as new DWORD (32-bit) values and they will work perfectly. You'll need to restart the TextInputHost.exe process or just do a quick reboot then it will be all fine.

Hi Scott. Unfortunately your suggestion did not work. Even with EnableTextPrediction set to 0 in the registry for the current user and a system reboot, suggestions still appear along the top of the touch keyboard as I type. I also tried the same registry value for HKLM in case that was overriding HKCU, but that did not resolve the issue either. Is there some other registry value that could be affecting this?

Hello. Thanks for your info. As I have never met this after setting text prediction to 0, but you could try EnableNextWordPrediction, and EnableAutocorrection to 0 also. If those still not work, I would suggest one last solution that is to force a keyboard mode by setting DisableNewKeyboardExperience to 1 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7 . Please let me know if any of those work (or even they're failed).

Hi Scott. I set both EnableNextWordPrediction and EnableAutotcorrection (for both HKCU and HKLM for good measure) to 0 and my issue is resolved. I'm not sure if both were necessary but everything is working as I had hoped. Thank you so much for your help. If you want to update you answer with those follow up suggestions, I will accept it as the solution. Thanks again Scott.
