Hi guys, I simply need to turn off the Tablet mode. I have found that Windows has removed that setting in the switch to Windows 11.. Ok I nice when things are intuative and so... but I simply need a way to switch it off. So many times it happens that I slightly shake with the laptop and it starts crazily switching between tablet and normal mode... So I can not use the laptop for some time, the keybord keeps disconecting, icons are disappearion, douchpad disabeling... I spend so much time uselesly moving my screen up and down... people around must be thinking that I am an idiot trying to make a fan from my laptop in this heat... Somewhere I found that I can switch off rotation lock... but guess what.. it is disabled and grey in my settings... when I ask for help, the laptop shows me an easy way to switch the tablet mode in the action centre... great job windows... only that the help shows settings for Windows 10.. I have 11.... Any other idea to solve this problem then buying a MAC??

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    Hi
    I have a similar problem, but I don't have the "optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet" option in my windows 11 home. How can I enable it?

    I want to turn off the tablet mode in my Lenovo Flex 5 once and for all. The tablet mode does not function properly in this Windows and turns on at random times.

    Yes ditto

    unfortunately, windows started to punish me after a while and now sometimes randomly switches off my keyboard with completely no possibility to turn it back on by flipping the screen... I need to restart the computer to have the keyboard back... it´s crazy... :( :( :(

    Oh wow... you are awesome! The last message got me thinking.. and somewhere else - under sensors, I have Bosh Accelerometer ... I disabled it and now after 2 years of struggling, finally, when the laptop is at the end of its lifetime, the issue is solved :D

    Thank you so much!
