    Laptop stuck in tablet mode


    I purchased a Lenovo Yoga 720-13KB in 2017, with Windows 10


    It just started automatically going into tablet mode and not allowing me to change it back to desktop/keyboard mode, even though I have the setup parameter set to always open in desktop mode. I have also changed the registry keys, to open in desktop mode and have set the tablet mode key to ‘0’. All to no avail. When I re-open the registry key it has set itself back to ‘1’.


    Finally, I found that by elevating the rear of the keyboard so it sits at a 45-degree angle, the computer will go back into desktop mode. Occasionally a slide-in box will ask if I want to switch to tablet-mode. But I ignore it, and after a second, the message slides out of sigh


    I would like to fix the source of this problem as I use the machine 3 -5 hours daily, and the “work-around” is inconvenient and hard on my wrists.


    Does the source of the problem sound like: Hardware? Software? A Virus?

    Is it something I can address, or will it require professional repair?


    Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

    :)

    Laptop stuck in tablet mode

    Lenovo Flex4 laptop appears to be stuck in tablet mode, keyboard and touch pad not working. All system settings indicators show tablet mode is off. Only onscreen keyboard works. Contacted Lenovo tech support and reinstalled drivers which enabled keyboard
    for about 5 keystrokes and then nothing. Restored factory settings from within BIOS dialog to no avail. Also tried procedure holding down power button for 15 seconds with no success. Any additional guidance welcome short of resetting the machine and wiping
    out all data.
