Reboot your system and it will start up normally once again. Now look for “ When this Device automatically Switches Tablet Mode On or Off“, and change it to “ Don’t Ask Me and Don’t Switch“. Where you see it says “ When I Sign In“, choose “ Use Desktop Mode“. Now choose “ System” and then “ Tablet Mode“. Next, click “ Home” on your Settings window. First, right click your Taskbar and select “ Properties.” Scroll down to where it says “ Use Start Full Screen” and be sure it is set to OFF. If your laptop somehow gets stuck or keeps starting in Tablet Mode, it is simple to reverse the setting. To access your hidden taskbar, just swipe up from the bottom of your screen.

Turn on “ Automatically Hide the Taskbar in Tablet Mode“.

Another way to free up more pixels is to hide the taskbar while you are using your laptop as a tablet: You will then see where it will “snap” to AND it will show you which other open apps have the ability to be snapped right next to the one you are currently moving!Īs I just mentioned, part of the beauty of Tablet Mode is having more screen real estate.

For example, Control-click an icon, a window, the toolbar, the desktop, or another item.

Control-click: Press and hold the Control key while you click an item. If you want to use two different apps next to each other, drag one of them to one side of your screen. Control-click on a Mac is similar to right-click on a Windows computerit’s how you open shortcut (or contextual) menus on a Mac. This gives you more space to work inside. While in Tablet Mode, your apps (including older programs) will open full screen. Side note: if you have never clicked that Notifications Center until now, you will see it is also the fastest way to get to your settings menu, put your device into airplane mode and open up your network. Simply click that to toggle this awesome feature! Click on that once, and at the bottom of the notification screen that pops up, you will see “ Tablet Mode” on the bottom left. See that little square in the bottom-right corner of your laptop? It is the notification center.

Turning Tablet Mode on and off in Windows 10 is quite simple.
