@Vmh_18,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

• Does the switch between desktop mode and tablet mode work correctly?

To answer your question the tablet mode may get disabled because of an update due to numerous reasons.

• The Intel Integrated Sensor Solution Driver which is a key driver to keep it enabled and to disable the keyboard may get disabled.
• The switch from tablet mode to desktop mode may not work correctly after the update sometimes.
• Also, It would be impossible to pinpoint which update causes this action as it could be a bunch of cumulative updates or one specific update that causes this.

• Besides these updates which cause this to happen can vary as well.
• Sometimes it could be that the issue is hardware related, with the sensors not working correctly and the Windows updates could be coincidental.

For now, please try these steps:

Go to control panel

2. Go to Display

3. Go to Adjust Resolution

4. Be sure "Allow the screen to auto-rotate" is CHECKED.

If this does not work then try this link:  HP Notebook PCs - Switching Between Tablet Mode and Desktop Mode (Windows 10)

Also, uninstall the keyboard in device manager and restart the computer.

Solution 1:

The keyboard in Windows 10 has an automatic detector to disable the keyboard and the trackpad as soon as it becomes a 'tablet'. To access it go to the following menu items:
Control panel (NOT SETTINGS) -> Keyboard (use icons) -> Keyboard Lock -> Auto-Lock the keyboard and touchpad (recommended)
You can use these settings to disable the keyboard in tablet mode.

Solution 2: 

The computer's display does not automatically rotate when shifted.

Please refer to the following steps to enable the rotation feature on the computer:

1.          Fold the computer into tablet mode.

2.          Swipe in from the right side to open the Action Center.

3.           Tap Rotation lock to enable this feature.

Solution 3:

• If it does not please perform a complete system recovery again to factory settings.
• Then install the latest version of HP support assistant.
• Please perform all Windows update again.
• Then update the Intel Integrated Sensor Solution Driver from  https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers and follow the on-screen instructions.
• Please run the Intel driver utility and update it from the Intel website.
• Also, ensure that you have the latest bios update by running HP support assistant.
• This should do the trick for you if there is no hardware issue with the computer.

Solution 4: 

Go to Device Manager > System devices > Intel Integrated Sensor Solution and ensure that the driver is enabled.

Solution 5:

Goto path -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation

Check the value of Enable file if it is 0 rotation will be OFF, if 1 rotation will be ON.

Restart and Auto rotation will work. 

Note: The lock rotation button in display settings will still be disabled
