If you have a touch screen computer and Windows 10 – like the Microsoft Surface Book 2 – you’re probably familiar with tablet mode.

Tablet mode is when your computer disables use of the keyboard (often because it has been folded over or detached) and turns itself into what is, functionally, a tablet device.

Most computers with this ability give you the option to have your computer automatically switch in and out of tablet mode when it senses itself being folded into tablet shape, or will ask you if you’d like to switch.

However, for those who don’t use their computer’s tablet mode at all, this function can be annoying and make it difficult to use your computer.

Here's how to turn it off.
