At a certain point during installation windows asks me to type in a username, etc. At that point there are no USB drivers to run my keyboard (new build with new M/B) so I opted for the onscreen keyboard option to get on with the install. Now every time I boot up the keyboard starts and I have to kill it for the session. Is there any way to stop it coming up now that its not needed?

I had to opt for the onscreen keyboard early during the installation so there was no access to the Task Manager at that point. I am now trying to get rid of the darned thing permanently.

I did understand. It was clear to me that you didn't have the keyboard (it was probably on a USB3 port)

You didn't answer my question:
Open device manager (devmgmt.msc). Is there any alerts of missing drivers?

Open the Ease of Access Center in the Control Panel. Click on 'Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard' and untick the 'Use on-screen keyboard' box, then click the Apply button.

I tried the keyboard on USB2 and USB3 ports but since it was a new install on a new M/B there were no drivers to be had at the time, and no way to look for them even if they were somewhere to be found. I have now had a chance to add the drivers from the Asus CD and there is nothing missing now.
