Hello, @Kindhu - Greetings!

Thanks for posting in HP Support Forums! I will certainly try my best to help you with your issue 🙂

I understand that the keyboard is not getting disabled by itself while you use your HP Spectre in tablet mode. I did some digging and came up with the below-mentioned solutions. Please give it a try and let me know if it helps 🙂

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:

Some of the users who had the similar issue have mentioned in some forums that the issue is fixed by adjusting the angle of the tablet. When the laptop is rotated sideways it attempts to switch to tablet mode, even when you have not adjusted the screen angle. The sensing is done by an orientation sensor in the base of the laptop, not in the hinges. So, to turn the keyboard back on and to go to laptop mode try tilting the whole laptop towards you slightly and check. 

Solution 3:

Update the Windows and BIOS. Run the windows update and make sure the windows is up to date. Now, go to http://hp.care/2bjHn5I and enter the complete product number to get the driver download page for your machine. Download and update the BIOS, restart and check for the issue resolution.

Those steps should do the trick, let me know the outcome!

Have a great day 🙂

I have tried you 2nd method by getting my laptop to 360 degrees but it won't change to tablet mode at all plus the keyboard isn't showing up at all in manual tablet mode when I tried to type in Egde, and 3rd solution method did't do any favour at all. For solution 1 I couldn't find such option as "keyboard lock" in any of those keyboad options. 🙂

On the top right side of the control panel window, click on view by and change to small or large icons.
