    Getting Desktop on new Tablet - help please!


    Hi
    I have a new Windows 10 tablet and having problems. My old tablet was set up perfectly so that when switched on the desktop (just like my main laptop) appeared instantly with the blue Windows background and all my icons. I set up my new tablet exactly the same going into settings and down to 'tablet' etc. but...........................

    Although I have managed to get my new tablet to look the same I have a problem in that when I switch it on it appears with a white screen and lots of little icons along the bottom and up the side! What I have to do each time I switch on the tablet is to click on the little square icon bottom right in my task bar which opens a box and I then have to click on the blue tablet icon to remove it. Then I click on the start button bottom left in my task bar to open that and THEN the blue Windows screen appears with all my icons just like my old tablet and my laptop.

    This screen remains perfectly ok until I switch off the tablet and I have to go thru the setting up again when I switch it on again! I have compared the settings with my old tablet and they look exactly the same. Both have same latest Windows installed.

    Thanks everyone

    :)
