Windows 10: Unable to use keyboard while folding the laptop. Wish to disable tablet mode.

I have an HP Pavilion x360. I have connected it to my monitor and want to use it as a keyboard while folding it but it switches over to tablet mode and disables the keyboard. Please help me solve this issue I have been attempting to disable tablet mode for a while now but have remained unsuccessful so far. My software is Windows 11.

Disable Keyboard and Trackpad in Tablet Mode

Hi,

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and I had a question about the tablet mode feature. I have a 2-in-1 convertible laptop, but when folding it into tablet mode the keyboard and trackpad are only disabled when the laptop is fully folded.

I don't know why it is set up this way as it would make more sense to disable the trackpad and keyboard once the screen is past 180 degrees.

I noticed the tablet mode activates once the laptop is past 180 degrees so is there anyway to set the keyboard and trackpad to automatically disable when Windows 10 is in tablet mode?

Thanks!

 

I want my laptop keyboard to work when in tablet position


Thanks for the reply. I found this link with a suggestion, but I can't find it in my task manager.

I also found some Lenovo discussions where they had a piece of software that controlled when the keyboard went on and off. I would only assume the Toshiba works the same way, but that doesn't help me unless I can figure it out.

 

Use physical keyboard in tablet mode

I have a Dell Inspiron computer, which has a tablet mode. However, putting my laptop into tablet mode disables the physical keyboard. Is there any way I can turn it back on?

So far, I've tried the following things:

1. Disabling tablet mode completely. However, when I fold my laptop, it says in "desktop mode", but the keyboard is disabled.
   
2. Disabling the "Intel Integrated Sensor Solutions" driver in the Device Manager.
   
3. Disabling the touchscreen altogether.
   

However, none of the above methods work in any combination. What am I missing?
