    Microsoft recognizing laptop as a tablet


    Help! We bought my daughter a cheaper laptop for christmas. It is running Windows 10. When i add it to “my devices,” it is recognizing the laptop as a tablet. The whole reason she wanted the laptop was for minecraft which will not load since it thinks it a tablet. We bought the PC version for that reason.

    i have tried everything i can think of. I have removed the device then added it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Wacom tablet is being recognized as a mouse.

    Hi Elidia,

    This may be related to how your laptop recognizes the driver for your tablet. To resolve the problem, let's run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter available in Control Panel. Follow these steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • Type Troubleshooting then press Enter.
    • On the left panel, click on View all.
    • Select Hardware and Devices and allow the troubleshooter to run.

    The troubleshooter will automatically correct any issues it finds with the drivers on your laptop.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.

    Tablet no longer recognized

    My ASUS tablet is no longer recognized by Windows 10. When I try to reinstall the driver I get a INF file is invalid error. Any suggestions (I reset my tablet to factory conditions, but it still is not recognized).
