Onscreen keyboard not showing up in Windows 10 lock screen after an update anymore and have to restart every time... Is it just me or you have any fixes, @brycej @IncTechLab ?

Ah, someone else! It also disappears on Windows 11. I have reported to MS. Have also found a workaround that works for me: if I click on 'I have forgotten my pin' and then close the window that eventually appears it takes me back to the login, but this time I can turn the OSK on!

Oh, OK. I assumed that travel accommodations would be part of the process. I am in Denver, so this won’t work out.

Certainly counts but we’re hoping for local folks. If you have feedback that you’d like to convey to the team I’d be happy to relay it.

We were invited by Kent School District to work with select students who would benefit from our Microsoft Adaptive Accessories. One of the students would accidentally click a button when they didn’t mean to because of involuntary movement. piped.video/V_dg63V7hok

A lot of game devs ask us “how do I design my game for the Xbox adaptive controller?” The answer is pretty simple: you don’t. We don’t design games for hardware. We design them for the diverse humans who are enjoying them.
Catch my keynote at #FDG23 on #gameaccessibility 🙏🎮
.@KaitlynJones_' incredible summary of the last decade of game accessibility is also online. I thought this was an amazing primer that covered so much ground in one talk - really amazing examples of impactful work too. #fdg23 piped.video/watch?v=puKaTG1W…

We continue to explore tactile indicators on devices. There are some things that we don't have complete answers for. We’re learning and we hope that others in the industry will try to push this idea forward.
