Windows 10: Windows 10 switches laptop to tablet mode randomly

I have a newer touchscreen Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 and it likes to switch to table mode intermittently and the touchpad and keyboard don't respond. I have switched the display options to "Don't ask me and don't switch" to tablet mode since I rarely use it in this mode.

I took the laptop in to GeekSquad to have the software fixed under warranty and I was told it's a Windows issue and they wanted $200 to fix it.

I see very few recommended solutions online and none of them have worked yet. I'm also not ready to pay someone $200 to fix it at this point. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a solution that anyone knows about? Or is it really so technically that I have to have an "expert" find and fix it?

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.
