        I have the same problem! Surface Pro with Windows 10. Every other program works fine so it must be Opera...

                anyone affected by the virtual keyboard not appearing bug: please run Opera with --disable-usb-keyboard-detect (easiest done by creating a shortcut to Opera, clicking right mouse button on it, pressing Properties, adding the value in quotes (without the quotes themselves): " --disable-usb-keyboard-detect" after what is already present in the Target textfield.

                leocg, thanks, I just saw that and came to post it and your link was here ๐Ÿ˜‰

                Can a mod add #RESOLVED to the title please for other users to see ๐Ÿ™‚

                    "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-usb-keyboard-detect

                    the SPACE between " and -- is paramount!

                    Would be easier to copy and paste the above in the Opera mods original post IF he had put the full info in ๐Ÿ˜‰

                      I'm having the same problem. I tried the fix above but can't seem to change the Target textfield. An error message comes up: "The name 'C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."
                      Am I doing something wrong?? ๐Ÿ˜•

                          I tried it with the argument. But it doesnยดt work for me. This is how i tried it:

                          "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-usb-keyboard-detect

                          Could it be that it only works with opera 32 bit?

                          I have tried opera 38, 39.0.2256.48 and the newest beta-version. But it doesnยดt work.

                          Have anyone an idea?

                          Thank you very much
                          Beyt regards
                          George
