Windows 10: How do I enable the physical keyboard while in tablet mode?

I got a new monitor but now don't have enough space on my desk to use my laptop and monitor. I want to fold my laptop and only have the keyboard right side up. I have tried disabling tablet mode completely and disabling and uninstalling the Intel Integrated Sensor Solutions driver in the Device Manager.

Use physical keyboard in tablet mode

I have a Dell Inspiron computer, which has a tablet mode. However, putting my laptop into tablet mode disables the physical keyboard. Is there any way I can turn it back on?

So far, I've tried the following things:

1. Disabling tablet mode completely. However, when I fold my laptop, it says in "desktop mode", but the keyboard is disabled.
   
2. Disabling the "Intel Integrated Sensor Solutions" driver in the Device Manager.
   
3. Disabling the touchscreen altogether.
   

However, none of the above methods work in any combination. What am I missing?

 

No virtual keyboard in tablet mode with a physical keyboard attached

Clean installs of Windows 10 on either a Surface w/Keyboard or an Ultrabook (doesn't matter what kind test this in a store with multiple Surfaces or Ultrabooks same thing on all devices). When you place the device in tablet mode the virtual keyboard is
not available which makes the device completely useless. This is not a device or corrupt Windows install this is a clean install of Windows 10 and appears to be a design bug or flaw so reinstalling windows does not fix the issue. It is not related to a
certain device either as this can be replicated on several different machine types as long as they have a physical keyboard attached. On a surface if you remove the physical keyboard and put it in tablet mode the virtual keyboard appears but if you leave
it connected you cannot work in tablet mode. Is there a Windows 10 patch to fix this issue?

 

Disabling physical keyboard when in tablet mode

I have an hp spectre laptop that bends back to become a tablet, and goes into "tablet mode". In this tablet mode, however, the physical keyboard does not disable and when I have it in my lap I will inevitably start accidentally pressing random keys. Is
there a setting in Windows 10 where I can disable the keyboard specifically when I go into tablet mode? I don't want to have to manually disable it any time I want to use it as a tablet, that would be unreasonable...
