I suggest you to ensure the Tablet mode is disabled.

Steps:-

• Click or tap the Start button.
• Open the Settings application.
• Click or tap on "System".
• In the pane on the left of the screen scroll all the way to the bottom until you see "Tablet Mode."
  
• Ensure the toggle is set to “off”.

If the issue persists run a System File Checker scan and check if there are any system files missing or got corrupted.

Summary

System file check is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption the
sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect, corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.

I suggest you to try the steps provided, in the link below in order to run SFC scan on your computer.
