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??

    I'm adding a interesting piece of information that may help in solving this issue.

    I just installed Windows 11 on a new laptop (X1 Nano, not tablet, not touch screen) and signed in with my microsoft account.

    The same account is used on another laptop (Lenovo Yoga, touch screen, tabled mode enabled).

    What I get?

    Windows Explorer checkboxes are enabled and there's no way to disable them (options, folder options, registry edits). So it seems there's some setting in the windows user that are overriding all the local laptop windows settings.

    It's frustrating the Microsoft forced my surface book 3 to automatically update to win 11. It feels like a giant step backwards from windows 10. Many features of windows 10 i used extremely frequently now take two or three more click, and I have to dig multiple layers deep in settings to change things that were on the win 10 right side popup panel. Instead of enjoying my morning coffee with my laptop I'm busy being a janitor cleaning up an MS mess.
