In a previous article, I have mentioned how to turn off Action Center in Windows 10, now in this article, I have mentioned how you can disable or enable tablet mode in Windows 10, which can be useful for you if you have a Surface device or want to use your desktop as Tablet.

What is tablet mode in Windows 10?

Tablet mode in Windows 10 is available since the 2015 update and is a function that should emerge when you plug a tablet from its base or dock (if you wish it to). The Start menu, Windows Store apps, and Settings all expand to full screen after that. It's also worth noting that the Desktop application is not compatible with tablets.

Tablet Mode settings

You can change the default settings for your windows by navigating to Start -> Settings -> System -> Tablet mode.  (You can also get to Settings by pressing the Windows Key + I)

Now choose the tablet mode settings from the options

  • When Sign in "Use Tablet Mode" = Will set the default value for your windows to Tablet mode
  • When Sign in "Use Desktop Mode" = Will set the default value for your windows to Desktop mode
  • When Sign in "Use Appropriate Mode for my hardware" = Will automatically switch to the required mode (Default settings, and recommended)

There is another setting option also which states what action to take when Tablet Mode Switch On/off, so set it to "Always ask me before switching" so you can take corrective steps before switching to Tablet mode or be aware that you are on Tablet Mode.
