The fix was to ReKill Cortana.
Windows Update brings Cortana back from the dead, as a zombie;
Zombie Cortana then randomly blocks "Touch Keyboard".

Find the Cortana process in the TaskManager -> "Open File Location".
ReTake, ReGain ownership of the Cortana folder.

Try to rename the folder [ a prompt will come up ];
kill Cortana so you can _Quickly_ hit "Try again", 
thus renaming it before Cortana returns from the dead.

Copy Over a TextFile and give it the same name as the Cortana folder,
so (hopefully) the folder won't get ReCreated.

Merge the following into the registry and ReBoot:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
    "AllowCortana"=dword:0
