Spectre x360 15"
Microsoft Windows 11

I recently upgraded my HP Spectre x360 15" to Windows 11 and there is no "tablet mode" in Windows anymore, replaced with automatically reformatting the UI when a keyboard is "detached." When you flip the x360 2-in-1 it is supposed to "disable" the keyboard which should be the equivalent of "detaching" the keyboard and updated the Windows 11 UI to touch mode... but it doesn't seem to happen. They keyboard appears to remain enabled when you flip the keyboard around. It is like the 2-in-1 functionality is now lost with the Windows 11 upgrade.

Under Windows 10, I had it setup to prompt me and not automatically switch to tablet mode with auto-rotation. Do you think that something in the Windows 10 registry is stuck and so it isn't automatically flipping modes and disabling the keyboard allowing Windows 11 to go into Touch Mode?

Whoops! Solved my own problem. Ends up, the keyboard was disabled, hence "detached" appropriately, but the resolution on the 4k display was set to 100% which made the touch mode switch so incredibly subtle that it was almost not noticeable. I also had rotation lock turned on, which explains why the screen wasn't adjusting for me.

I am now on a hunt for some sort of script that will change the scale of the UI from 100% in laptop mode to 250% in touch mode. Open to any ideas.
