Stopping the touch keyboard from popping up in Windows 10

While editing MS Word documents on my Lenovo X1 Tablet with the keyboard attached, everytime I touched the screen to change where the cursor was, the Windows touch keyboard would appear and obscure the document.

Painful.

To stop the Windows touch keyboard from appearing, follow these steps:

1. Hit Win-R
2. Open control panel:  Type in "control" and hit "Enter"
3. Tap Administrative Services
4. Tap Services
5. Scroll down to "Touch keyboard and handwriting panel service" and double tap it
6. Set startup type to "Disable"
7. Tap apply and OK.
8. Reboot, and you're done.
