    A PC is presenting in Tablet Mode - I need to it to be in Desktop Mode


    I am helping a friend who has a PC working in Tablet Mode even though I have made all the correct configurations in Settings to make it work in Desktop Mode. Can anyone help me move forward with this situation to help me return this computer to Desktop Mode.


    In System I set Tablet Mode to Use Desktop Mode but this had no effect.


    I made sure the Tablet Mode Tile in Notifications was turned off but this had no effect


    I ran sfc /scannow which did find some corruptions but was able to repair them.


    If I run the DISM tool in Windows PowerShell to restore the Image, do you think this might correct the situation?


    My thanks, DaveJB.

    :)

    Tablet and Desktop Mode

    Hello,

    I was wonder why you can't have the tablet tile and its side menu setup on the official desktop in Windows 10? The reason I ask is because gone are shortcuts in Desktop Mode. Live tiles are a natural modernization of the old shortcuts we use to be able
    to place on the desktop. Tablet mode has functionality restrictions that aren't present in Desktop, but in Desktop there are no tiles (shortcuts) immediately available like in Tablet mode. Instead one must go into the Start Menu and then select a tile.
    It is cumbersome and doesn't make much sense. And yes, I do have my Start Menu set to full screen mode, but again, you have to take a couple of steps just to access tiles (shortcuts). Seems rather silly to me. Will there ever be a way to have the tablet
    tile "desktop" available in the full Desktop Mode? It seems this would be a very simple thing to do by Microsoft.

    Thank you.
