  1. Useless Tablet mode? Can't go back, can't switch between running apps.


    Hi,

    When in the Tablet mode on Windows 10, how to switch between running applications? I'm using an app, run another app and want to go back to the first. How to do that? I can't see any buttons or controls to do that. When I tap on the "Back" button, it shows me the start menu, but doesn't actually do any "back" action like on an Android device. So I can go back neither through the browser history, not the running applications list. The Tables mode looks awful and useless. I'm I missing some settings here, or it's really useless?

    Regards.

    :)

    switching from tablet mode to laptop mode

    Hi,

    The concern you have encountered may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting. Windows 10's Tablet Mode provides a more touch-friendly experience by making all applications run at full screen and giving you a Start screen instead of a Start Menu.
    If you have a 2-in-1 device, Windows 10 asks you if you want to enter tablet mode every time you convert your notebook into a slate. Kindly follow the steps below to sort out the concern:

    • Click Settings from the Start menu
    • Click System, then select Tablet Mode in the left panel. A tablet mode submenu appear
    • Toggle "Make Windows more touch-friendly . . ." to on to enable Tablet mode. Or off to go to desktop mode
    • Configure the "When this device automatically switches" menu to let Windows 10 to switch modes on your 2-in-1 prompt or not prompt you.

    Should you have further concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.
