Automatically enable Windows 10 touch keyboard & full keyboard with powershell script

Question

I am trying to write a Powershell script that automatically sets up a Windows 10 platform that uses only a touch screen monitor as it's interface.

I've found this registry key and wrote it into the script:

$registryPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI"
$Name = "ShowTabletKeyboard"
$value = "1

But, we still have to go into Settings>Devices>Typing and manually enable "Show the touch keyboard" and "Add standard keyboard as an option".

I've found ways to set this up for individual applications but not for a system wide configuration.

Any advice? Thanks!

if that works add a logon script script from gro with registy values so that you dont have to do it on each computrs — DisplayName, Jul 11 '16 at 05:13

Partial Answer: I found that by adding the TipbandDesiredVisibility key and setting the value to 1, it will show the touch keyboard icon in the taskbar. This should be added as a D_WORD to:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7

Use 1 for on, 0 for off.

Note: I haven't found out how to set the keyboard layout.
