Windows 10: Exiting tablet mode makes panels/menus appear

Hi,


I'm working on a Surface Pro 4 and, since about 1 month, I have problems when exiting from tablet mode.

The panels/menu (don't know the right name :-() in OneNote and in Firefox opens :

• In OneNote, the problem occurs with the panel that usually opens in full screen mode to switch from one page to another. Whatever I am in full screen or not, when exiting from tablet mode the panel is shown and it's quite hard to hide it back.
• In FireFox, the same behavior occurs with several panels : The address panel, the security/info panel, the "..." menu from the address opens when exiting from tablet mode. Once again, the application don't know these panels/menus are opened and we can't close them : I have to close Firefox.

I guess this is a Windows 10 bug and not one for each of theses application, but I may be wrong.


Please note that I have the same problem, when I close the keyboard which makes Windows enter sleep mode.


Anyway, is there a workaround ?


Best regards,

E.G.

:)

switching from tablet mode to laptop mode

Hi,

The concern you have encountered may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting. Windows 10's Tablet Mode provides a more touch-friendly experience by making all applications run at full screen and giving you a Start screen instead of a Start Menu.
If you have a 2-in-1 device, Windows 10 asks you if you want to enter tablet mode every time you convert your notebook into a slate. Kindly follow the steps below to sort out the concern:

• Click Settings from the Start menu
  
• Click System, then select Tablet Mode in the left panel. A tablet mode submenu appear
  
• Toggle "Make Windows more touch-friendly . . ." to on to enable Tablet mode. Or off to go to desktop mode
  
• Configure the "When this device automatically switches" menu to let Windows 10 to switch modes on your 2-in-1 prompt or not prompt you.

Should you have further concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.
