My laptop has been stuck in tablet mode on the screen even when I switch into desktop mode. I can't figure out how to change it so I can see my actual background and the apps on it. How do I change this and keep it in desktop mode?

Let's try the below steps.

 

1.  Click Settings on the Start Menu. 

2.  Select System. 

3.  Select Tablet mode in the left pane. A Tablet mode submenu appears. 

4.  Toggle "Make Windows more touch-friendly . . ." to on to enable Tablet mode. Toggle it off to go to desktop mode.  

Select "Don't ask me and always switch" from the "When this device automatically switches" menu if you want Windows 10 to switch modes on your 2-in-1 without prompting you.

 

Restart the notebook.

 

Keep me posted, how it goes!
