Windows 10: My laptop switch to normal mode when i rotate it beyond 225 or so and it turns tablet mode...

Whenever i am using normal mode meaning without rotating the screen then it enables me tablet mode which doesn't allow me to use keyboard and touchpad ,i cannot even change it , and whenever i turn my laptop beyond 225 degree or so , then it enables to use on normal mode using keyboard and mouse . It is acting reversly than how it should work

Rotation of laptop disables trackpad and keyboard even with tablet mode turned off

Ok so, I have an HP spectre x360 with windows 10 on it. It is a 2 in 1 laptop that has touchscreen capabilities. Normally if I rotate my computer or flip the screen it will automatically switch to tablet mode, which is fine. But, for example, if I want to
watch a show in bed and lay on my side I like to put my computer on its side as well without going into tablet mode so I can still use the trackpad and keyboard. So I change the setting to not switch the computer to tablet mode and I also have autorotation
set to off, so the screen will stay it its normal configuration. When I turn the computer to the side the screen stays the same (which is what I want) and it does not switch to tablet mode (which is also what I want), BUT windows disables both my trackpad
and my keyboard while the computer is sideways (90 degrees) like it thinks I'm in tablet mode when I'm really not.

Essentially, I want my computer to act like a normal laptop without a bunch of auto-rotates and tablet modes for the time that I am in bed and then be able to switch back so that I can lay on my side with my computer at a 90 degree angle and nothing changes.
And so far, everything seems to work other than windows disabling my trackpad and keyboard.

Also a little clarification, if tablet mode is set to turn on when I rotate the computer, if I turn tablet mode OFF while the computer is still in its rotated position the keyboard and trackpad stay disabled. They will not become enabled until the laptop
is in an upright position again.

 

Explicit tablet mode switch

Can we get an explicit tablet mode switch inWindows 11?

Here's the use case:

• Windows 11 auto-selects tablet mode if under certain circumstances
  
  • For example, if you have a 2-in-1 PC (like a Surface, Lenovo Yoga, HP x360, etc) and you "tent" it by folding the keyboard back
    
  • It's also selected if you detach (not fold back) the keyboard on a Surface or similar tablet PC
    
• Under Win10, this would autoselect tablet mode, same as Win11: the system would note the sensor input and change modes
  
  • The task bar changes to autohide, the Start menu changes to fullscreen (Win10), button and menus change to become larger and less dense
    
    • The mode change from desktop<>tablet also provides hints from the OS to other applications to, eg reduce control density:
      
      • Web pages can change layout
        
      • Office applications reduce options and space out controls
        
      • Context menus are more widely space
        
      • Etc.
        
  • The difference in Win10 is the ability to explicitly switch to/from tablet mode; Win11 doesn't offer an explicit switch at all
    
  • This does make sense in general: Windows thinks you don't have a precision input device available, and changes modes and offers hints to compensate. This is normally good behaviour
    
• However, it's common to "tent" a 2-in-1 and use a desktop keyboard and mouse
  
  • In this situation (keyboard & mouse) the user does not likely want tablet mode: they want a more dense screen layout, the non-auto-hide taskbar, and they don't want applications to use the tablet-mode hints from the OS
    
  • In Win10, this would mean you can switch off tablet mode: problem solved!
    
  • In Windows 11, there's no way to do this
    
    • There's no quick setting, like Win10 has, which would be ideal
      
    • There's not even an explict control panel setting to turn off
      
• There are unhelpful suggestions in the help system and in forums, suggesting the user turn off auto-rotate
  
  • When tenting a 2-in-1, we still want the screen to rotate.
    
  • What we want is to have the operating system continue to work as if there's a precision input device connected
    

It's good design to have the system try to select the mode based on conditions, but it's bad to not allow the user to override it.

Suggestions:

• Add an explicit switch, ideally in quick settings, like Windows 10 had
  
  • This has the added bonus of helping with tablets like, eg, the HP X2, which aren't great at detecting when the keyboard is folded and take input when they shouldn't.
    
• Add a control panel option to disable/enable tablet mode. This isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing
  
• Disable touch mode based when "tenting" if a precision input device (a mouse or keyboard) is available;
  
  • This isn't ideal, either, but it at least solves the tenting issue for tablet PCs
    

ETA: here's another minor irritant: in tablet mode, pressing the Windows key on the keyboard to pull up the Start menu doesn't work. If you have a Bluetooth-connected keyboard, this breaks a UI convention that's been in-place since Win95.

Windows 11 laptop switching to tablet mode and locking up

I have an hp Pavilion laptop 2-in-1. I upgraded to Windows 11 a few months ago. Now and then, the computer switches to tablet mode for no reason (I'm not rotating the computer). It freezes up, and it takes several restarts to get back to normal display. Suggested solutions for disabling tablet mode in Windows 11 haven't worked for me. How can I make this stop?
