    How to enable true desktop mode when using my device as a tablet?


    I'm using my Surface as a tablet, and I don't like the desktop/tablet mode hybrid that is used when you use desktop mode on a tablet. How do I disable this hybrid and get the true desktop mode?

    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.
