Where Does Windows Store Touch Keyboard Settings?
Where the Windows touch keyboard keeps themes, size and typing options in the registry for backup.
Last updated
The touch keyboard stores themes, key size, docking and typing options in the registry under the TabletTip branch. No files involved; the whole personality is registry values.
Manage through Settings rather than regedit. The Settings page writes the same keys safely across builds, while hand edits can strand the keyboard in odd sizes. Export the branch before experimenting with custom themes or resizing the layout.
Where Windows stores this, by platform
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip
Themes and layout options in one registry branch. Prefer the Settings page over regedit. Export before customizing; a bad merge shrinks the keyboard badly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up touch keyboard themes?
Copy the TabletTip registry branch with reg export while signed out of conflicting sessions. Themes and layouts travel in the key. Restoring means merging the file back and signing out and in.
Where are touch keyboard settings in the Settings app?
Open Settings, Bluetooth and devices, Touch keyboard, or the keyboard settings page on tablets. Toggles there write into the same TabletTip branch. The registry mirrors the UI, not the other way around.
