How do you switch to tablet mode in Windows 11? The only answers I have been able to get to this question, are for Windows 10 and not 11!

i wanted tabet mode in windows 11

This helps!

Is the only way to use it as a tablet is turn and lock it vertically? I want to use it with Salesforce as a tablet. When I don’t have the keyboard connected what do I have to do to use touch screen? I’ve tried several times and don’t get any results by touch.

I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I’m very frustrated, in the purchase process I wasn’t able to talk to someone who knew anything about the device, customer service was zero help and left me sitting for several minutes at a time when I asked a question. Now that I have a considerable investment in this device I still can’t TALK to anyone to ask a few questions. I’m thinking of returning it and going back to iPad Pro. I don’t think anyone will care!

Hi Linda Burg123

We value your engagement in the Microsoft Community. From a technical standpoint, Windows 11 no longer includes a tablet mode, as Microsoft has removed all references to it in the documentation and listed it among the deprecated or removed features.

In Windows 11, there exists a mode that operates exclusively when a device is in tablet orientation. This mode, which closely resembles its Windows 10 counterpart, lacks an official name in Windows 11. Users commonly refer to it as ‘tablet mode.’ When activated, this mode optimizes the touchscreen experience by maximizing active windows and adjusting interface elements. Notably, manual control is no longer available.

How to use tablet experience in Windows 11.

Go to Settings> Personalization> Taskbar> expand Taskbar behaviors and then select to enable Optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet.

To switch between landscape and portrait mode, try turning on the rotation lock option (to disable automatic screen rotation) or by selecting the relevant sub-option from the display orientation menu.

Go to Settings> System> Display> and then click the arrow down under display orientation to select landscape or portrait mode.

Want to turn tablet mode off? Physically convert the tablet back into a laptop by reattaching the keyboard or rotating the screen back into a clamshell laptop orientation.

Thanks again for choosing Microsoft. Hope this helps!

Kind regards

Christopher.

SERIOUSLY? If I want to disable a so-called feature that I would be happy to call useless when in reality is a pest, besides on a PRO version, I need to disable an entire set of features and the only way to do it is to attach a piece of hardware, while in normal world this could be (and already WAS!) achieved through a logical switch (and there is no reason to forcedly bind this to physical!), just because some dodobird decided this was cool and as always MS knows better?????
You really ARE a MICROSOFT agent, no doubt about it.
MS, bring back to the user the control over their own devices, and stop thinking we are glad to pay an OS in order to do what YOU decided to do and besides taking the dumbest possible choiche!

I feel your pain. It does seem that when MS removed the manual switch function and implemented an automatic change when the keyboard is disconnected, they failed to check with hardware suppliers who produced devices with flip keyboards. I can only assume that these devices have some kind of sensor to tell the system when the device is "folded" into tablet format. Previously these sensors disabled the hardware keyboard and trackpad and switched on tablet mode. In effect, Microsoft stopped supporting these devices - which is a bit shocking when they are still under warranty from the hardware "partners". If this was Linux, someone would write a patch.
