I've searched in many threads and haven't found any appreciable solution.
The problem started with the laptop being unable to detect whether it was folded or unfolded. Initially, I could solve the problem by restarting the PC, but it's been a month that when I turn it on the keyboard and pad are already off.
I also brought the PC to a computer technician, he updated every driver and tried other options but couldn't solve the problem. He then suggested disabling some drivers in the HID list (e.g. Converted Portable Device Control device) and restarting the PC, but of course, it didn't work.
In order to use the PC right now I can only use the touch screen or external devices which is not optimal.
I feel like this problem is due to a software update that messed up the driver/sensor signal. I also read of users with the same problem that removed the G-sensor but it didn't solve their problem.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? Or should I just wait and hope for the next Windows update?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED! As erico mentioned, the Intel Integrated Sensor Solution (Device Manager -> System Devices) was the problem. To fix it I followed these steps: in the Registry Editor (Win+r and type "regedit"), go at this key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell", you'll find two DWORD files called TabletMode and SignInMode, double click and change the value to 0 for tablet mode off, and to 1 for SignInMode.
Now that the tablet mode was off I had to disable the Intel Integrated Sensor Solution from Device Manager, restart the PC and now it works. The keyboard and mouse are always on but it's definitely better than no keyboard at all.

The problem is that the Intel Comet lake chipset sensor driver is OS specific and the latest one is for Windows 10.
The Intel Integrated Sensor Solution Driver enables the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and eCompass sensors that provide rotation control functionality typically used in detachable and convertible system. This package is provided for supported models running a supported operating system.
You will see what I mean when you take a look in the driver availability. There are none for Windows 11.

Try installing this one in compatibility mode.

Hi, I installed the driver with compatibility mode "Windows 8" as you said, but I don't know what the next step should be. I tried to "scan for hardware changes" in Device Manager and to update some drivers without results. If you could give me some specific instructions it would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks again.

Did you run the compatibility checker?
Almost all drivers that work in Windows 10 should also work for Windows 11.
Here is a YouTube video that shows the essence of how it is done.

If that is the case, you are at a stop and wait point.
Hopefully there will be a Windows update forthcoming that resolves your tablet/keyboard mode issue.

It appears that Microsoft has a SensorDiagnosticTablet troubleshooter for devices that have Tablet mode and rotation sensors.
You can download it and run it in Admin mode to try to resolve the issue.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-sensors-troubleshooter
The troubleshooter might fix the issue without needing a Registry edit workaround.
I see you found the workaround on Tom's or Bleeping Computer.
