Auto switch tablet/desktop mode stopped working...


Does anyone know how to turn on the automatic desktop/tablet mode switching?

I run W10, the official release, on a Surface Pro 3 with a keyboard cover. Up to now, when I detach the keyboard I get asked if I want to switch to tablet mode, and when I attach the keyboard desktop mode has been automatically restored. I really like how W10 separates the two modes, instead off like W8/8.1 trying to be in both modes simultaneously.

But suddenly this does not happen. When the keyboard is detached, I do not get any question about enabling tablet mode and the Surface stays in desktop mode. If I manually switch to tablet mode, when I attach the keyboard the machine stays in tablet mode until manually disable it.

I have not changed any settings related to this, not deliberately at least.

I have looked at the tutorial on tablet mode in this forum, but it says nothing about automatic switching. I have checked the available settings but cannot see that there is any setting determining automatic mode switch, other than the "Always/never ask me before switching" (which is set to always).

If you go to Settings > System > Tablet mode, there is a "When this device automatically switches tablet mode on or off" What do you have that set to?

I figured you must have seen/looked at that setting, but figured I mention it anyway. Just in case the default setting got changed some how without you noticing. I run multiple displays so tablet mode is disabled for me. Couldn't use it even if I wanted to. Not without killing all but one of my displays.

Same issue with my Acer switch 10 as well, it has never worked.

Scratch that, I just noticed that Acer has released a program on their website called "Mode Change Indicator", after installing that it works!

I have the same problem with my Acer Switch 10, but I couldn't find the program. Do you have a link?
