Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-KeyboardFilterService (Industry 8.1)

  • Article

7/8/2014

Review the settings and examples of the Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-KeyboardFilterService feature package for Windows System Image Manager (SIM) in Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry (Industry 8.1).

You can use Keyboard Filter in Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry (Industry 8.1) to suppress undesirable key presses or key combinations. Normally a customer can use certain Windows key combinations like Ctrl+Alt+Delete or Ctrl+Shift+Tab to alter the operation of a device by locking the screen or using Task Manager to close a running application. This may not be desirable if your device is intended for a dedicated purpose. However, you can use Keyboard Filter to suppress any key press or key combination that causes an undesirable system behavior.

Keyboard Filter works with physical keyboards, the Windows On-Screen Keyboard, and the touch keyboard. Keyboard Filter also detects dynamic layout changes, such as switching from one language set to another, and continues to suppress keys correctly, even if the location of suppressed keys has changed on the keyboard layout. Keys can be blocked by either the scan code or the virtual key.

You may need to sign into a locked down device with a different account in order to service or configure the device. In Industry 8.1, you can use a breakout key to break out of a locked down account. When you quickly press the breakout key five times in a row, Industry 8.1 presents the Welcome screen so that you can sign into a different account. The breakout key is set to the scan code of the left Windows logo key by default.
