Windows 10 has a feature that displays a numberpad on the login screen, so you can enter your numeric PIN easily without a keyboard. This feature however, only works when windows detects a touchscreen...

If anyone has any ideas how I can get this feature working without a touchscreen. (Its for someone who's disabled, and can only operate a mouse)

I guess it runs Tabtip.exe to show it so if you can find a way to run Tabtip.exe by using the famous Windows "Debugger" reg value trick to make Tabtip.exe start instead one of the "Ease of Access" EXEs that run on the Logon screen, then it can be shown?

But the user would still have to type Win+U to bring it up? because to do that, he would already need to start onscreen keyboard. Thanks for the tip though :P

Hey, there is already an on-screen keyboard option via the Accessibility button. While it does not show the pin pad of the touch keyboard, you can definitely type numbers using the Onscreen keyboard. It also has an option to display the numeric keypad.

Yes there absolutely is; I was simply seeing if there was a way to eliminate the extra clicks required :P
