Windows 10: Keyboard and Touchpad don"t disable in tablet mode

Hey guys,

I recently bought a hp 2 in 1 and when I put into tablet mode it doesn't"t disable the keyboard and trackpad automatically. This seems to be a problem mainly with hp computers but I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem. I understand that there was a similar post 2 years ago but they weren't able to find a solution. If you have any information on how to fix this problem it would be much appreciated.

Disable Keyboard and Trackpad in Tablet Mode

This is very impractical!

Please redesign tablet mode to function in a manner that makes sense.

Touchpad and keyboard should be disabled automatically.

 

Disable Keyboard and Trackpad in Tablet Mode

The keyboard in Windows 10 has an automatic detector to disable the keyboard and the trackpad as soon as it becomes a 'tablet'. To access it go to the following menu items:

Control panel (NOT SETTINGS) -> Keyboard (use icons) -> Keyboard Lock -> Auto Lock the keyboard and touchpad (recommended)

You can use these settings to disable the keyboard in tablet mode

 

Tablet Mode Disables Keyboard and Touchpad

My Lenovo Yoga 920, a 2 in 1, doesn't automatically switch into tablet mode, or back into laptop mode. Also, it doesn't disable the keyboard or trackpad when in tablet mode, unless the screen is pushed all the way back. Pulling the screen back up from that
point still keeps the trackpad and keyboard disabled, and the only way that I have found to re-enable the trackpad and keyboard is through restarting it.

I can turn on tablet mode on and back off again through the action center just fine. My tablet mode settings are set to "Don't ask me and always switch". Earlier today, my laptop didn't have the problem where the trackpad and keyboard would stay disabled
even after pulling the screen back, but I updated Windows and restarted it, which added that problem.

Any help would be much appreciated!
