How to wake up envy x360 2 in 1 when flipped over in tablet mode

[Simonhxz]

I’ve just got mine yesterday, this issue came up really quick as an obvious flaw. I’m going to have to send it back. What a pity! Took ages to get the features and spec I wanted only to fail in its main feature.

The same here! That is so embarrasing, HP. One of the key features of this device is the tablet mode and I need it a lot. That´s why I bought this device.

If there won´t be a solution for that problem, like a BIOS update or something else, this was the last laptop I bought from HP.

The thread started in May and still only standard anwsers from your side, REALLY!?

Thanks for the response. But this wont help. When in tab mode whole keyboard is disabled.

New BIOS version F.14 is out. Did anyone tried it? I have returned my Envy, but I am curious, if this issue is gouing to be fixed.

Nothing seems to have changed in F.14.

These steps seem to work to wake the tablet mode and to login to the locked screen. 

1. Go to Settings.   Choose Talk to Cortana. Turn 'Hey Corona' on.  Turn on 'Use Cortana even when my device is locked'.

2. Saying 'Hey Cortana' will wake screen and this command will show the pin screen for unlocking the screen:

"show pin login screen" . Click in the pin box and type.

Just tried this as it should work, but even this didn't work for me. Also, the fingerprint reader is broken again, just immediately fails and doesn't even let you try, even after re-installing the entire OS for the 4th time now...

How do you set up the screen saver?

Not sure what you mean. I have the power settings set to sleep after a relatively short duration. In the computer mode, I hit enter the login screen comes up and I enter a pin. In tablet mode there is no enter to hit. So I after using my instructions below I can wake the computer with the 'Hey Cortana' and I can get to the login screen with Hey Cortana "show pin login screen". 

1. Go to Settings.   Choose Talk to Cortana. Turn 'Hey Corona' on.  Turn on 'Use Cortana even when my device is locked'.

2. Saying 'Hey Cortana' will wake screen and this command will show the pin screen for unlocking the screen:

"show pin login screen" . Click in the pin box and type.

Thanks, but "Cortana is not available in your region" 🤷
