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

    ok... an update here... Unfortunatelly after 2 weeks the same issue started occuring again... Although the option is switched off... Sometimes I need to lower my screen so low that I can not longer see... just type it blindly and then open again to be able to see what I wrote.... :( :( :( :( :(

    Hello, this is Emily.

    Go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. Expand the Taskbar behaviors section, then uncheck the box for "optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet".
