Keyboard in My Dell Ps7g Continues to Work in Tablet Mode
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.
Step 1 :
-
Press Windows key + X, and select Device Manager.
-
Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
-
Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable.
-
If there is no Disable option listed, click Uninstall.
-
Click File>Exit. Your laptop's internal keyboard should now be disabled.
Note : If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you'll need to repeat this procedure in order to uninstall it again.
Step 2 :
-
Press Windows key + X, and select Device Manager.
-
Click to expand Mice and other pointing devices.
-
Right click the touchpad and click Disable.
Hope it helps.
Let us know if you have any further query on Windows, we are glad to assist you further.
Thanks & regards, Abdul Malik

Hi, thanks for the reply. I was aware of disabling the keyboard and trackpad through device manger, but I was looking for a way to have them automatically disable once the laptop is in tablet mode rather than me having to do it manually and turning it back on and off every time.
Thanks.

In reply to deleted message
this has to be a joke.
a "support engineer" replied to a question asking how to automatically, temporarily, disable the keyboard/trackpad when the laptop enters tablet mode (which the os should perform on its own, by default and without any user action) by advising the user to permanently disable it?
this is why people should never say they are "microsoft certified anythings", someone needs to go back to school.

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

My keyboard icon only pops up a Properties dialog with tabs Speed and Hardware. No where I can find any Keyboard Lock settings. I'm running Windows 10 on an Acer Spin 7 labtop.

Hi, ive had the same problem with my 2 in 1 Dell Inspiron, the way i was able to overcome this is by going to the drivers and downloads page on the Dell website, and installing the "Dell Quickset Application", after that i went to the keyboard settings in control panel and went to the "keyboard lock" tab, then, I enabled "auto lock keyboard and touchpad (recommended)"
For those who have a different machine, id suggest going to your manufacturer's website and browsing through the applications which can be installed on your machine as well as their descriptions in order to find the correct one :)
thanks and i hope that helped :D

This is very impractical!
Please redesign tablet mode to function in a manner that makes sense.
Touchpad and keyboard should be disabled automatically.

So, I have pretty much the same problem. When flipping the screen which should make the laptop into a tablet (Asus ux360) the trackpad won't turn off at all while the keyboard does turn off but not completely, still giving some annoying error sounds when keys are pressed down. There was no auto lock feature in the control panel keyboard settings.
Also, the laptop won't automatically switch to tablet mode when the screen is flipped even when this feature is "enabled" in the settings. How on earth can something so simple go so wrong? please fix these embarrassing faults ASAP. I've installed all the latest ASUS drivers and have updated to the latest Windows version (1709).
Suggesting a clumsy manual fix to a problem needing an automatic solution is hilariously unprofessional but made me laugh.
