Enable tablet mode using the action center
If you want to turn tablet mode on or off manually, the Windows 10 Action Center is probably the fastest way. First, open “Action Center” by tapping or clicking the notification button in the corner of the taskbar. When the Action Center menu appears, select the “Tablet Mode” button.
This button works like a switch: if tablet mode is off when you use it, the button turns it on. If tablet mode is on, the same button will turn it off.
Switch between tablet mode using Windows settings
You can also enable or disable tablet mode from Windows settings. First open “Settings” then go to System> Tablet.
In ‘Tablet settings’, click on ‘Change additional tablet settings’.
In ‘Change additional tablet settings’ you’ll see a toggle called ‘Tablet mode’. Turn it “On” to enable Tablet mode and turn it “Off” to disable Tablet mode.
Then exit Settings. And don’t forget, you can always switch Tablet mode much faster with the Action Center shortcut shown in the previous section. Lots of fun!
