Use DISM to Repair the Windows Image
** DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth **
Hit Enter. This command checks and repairs your Windows image. Again, it might take some time

I think it was weird bug. Windows said "This app doesn't support Touch Keyboard. Open On-Screen Keyboard instead?" just like Terminal app is more 20 years old Win32
