如何在Windows 10上启用(Windows 10)平板电脑模式(Tablet Mode)
折叠或分离键盘时，某些混合笔记本电脑或可转换二合一设备会自动进入平板电脑模式。(Tablet)如果您的触摸屏或可转换笔记本电脑不这样做，您可以从Windows 操作中心手动激活(Windows Action Center)Windows 10 平板电脑(Tablet)模式。

2.从选项中选择平板模式。(Tablet mode)
默认情况下，平板电脑(Tablet)模式磁贴应位于操作中心(Action Center)。如果缺少该选项，则该图块被隐藏，或者您已达到操作中心(Action Center)可以容纳的最大快速操作数。
操作中心(Action Center)最多只能容纳 16 个快速操作。因此，如果平板电脑(Tablet)模式磁贴丢失，它很可能隐藏在操作中心(Action Center)中。您需要删除一个项目，以便在快速操作区域中为平板电脑模式腾出空间。(Tablet)
右键单击任何磁贴并选择编辑快速操作(Edit quick actions)。

平板电脑模式有哪些变化
我们重点介绍平板电脑(Tablet)模式为您的平板电脑或笔记本电脑带来的一些修改。当 Windows 10平板电脑(Tablet)模式处于活动状态时，您会注意到以下变化：
1.重新定义任务栏(1. Redefined Taskbar)
平板电脑(Tablet)模式将隐藏固定到任务栏的应用程序和快捷方式。引入了一个新的搜索图标(search icon)（它取代了Windows 搜索(Windows Search)栏），以及一个后退按钮(Back button)和一个任务查看器(Task Viewer)图标。
当您最小化一个应用程序时，您需要点击任务视图(Task View)图标来恢复该应用程序或切换到另一个活动的应用程序。后退按钮将您带到应用程序或窗口的上一页。
如果您想在屏幕上显示固定和活动的应用程序，请从平板电脑(Tablet)模式设置菜单中取消隐藏任务栏。转到设置(Settings)>系统(System)>平板电脑模式(Tablet mode)并关闭在平板电脑模式下隐藏任务栏上的应用程序图标(Hide app icons on the taskbar in tablet mode)。
这会将任务栏恢复到屏幕底部，或者在您激活Windows 10 平板电脑(Tablet)模式之前的任何位置。在平板电脑(Tablet)模式下取消隐藏任务栏图标的另一种方法是右键单击或按住任务栏并选择显示应用程序图标(Show app icons)。
2. 永久开始菜单(2. Persistent Start Menu)
在Windows 10 平板(Tablet)模式下，开始(Start)菜单成为主屏幕；Windows摆脱了桌面。当您关闭应用程序时，您将被重定向到“开始”菜单的全屏版本(fullscreen version of the Start menu)。
3. No Maximize/Restore Button
您无法在平板电脑(Tablet)模式下更改应用程序或窗口的大小。Maximum/Restore图标变为灰色且不可点击。最接近更改应用程序大小的是通过“分屏”模式。拖动(Drag)或向下滑动应用程序窗口，直到您在屏幕中间看到一个分隔线。
将(Drag)应用程序拖动到屏幕的左侧或右侧以减小其大小。当您打开第二个应用程序时，Windows会自动将应用程序窗口固定到屏幕的另一侧。要调整任一应用程序的大小，请将黑色分隔线相应地向左或向右移动。
要关闭分屏排列的应用程序，请选择标题栏上的x 图标或将应用程序窗口拖到屏幕底部。(x icon)
4. 触控键盘(4. Touch Keyboard)
仔细查看通知区域（任务栏的右端），您会发现一个键盘图标。那就是Windows 触控键盘(Windows Touch Keyboard)。当您在Windows 10 平板电脑(Tablet)模式下点击文本框时，键盘应该会自动出现在屏幕上。如果没有，请单击通知区域中的键盘图标以打开触控键盘(Touch Keyboard)。
或者，右键单击或按住任务任务栏并选择显示触摸键盘按钮(Show touch keyboard button)。

这些是Windows 10 平板电脑(Tablet)模式最重要的细节。您还可以在未启用触摸屏的Windows PC上使用该功能。(Windows PCs)唯一的区别是您将无法使用手指浏览屏幕。要切换回桌面模式，请打开操作中心(Action Center)并点击平板电脑模式(Tablet mode)。
Windows 10 Tablet Mode: What It Is and How to Use It
Windows 10 has a bunch of “modes” and features that can help you get the best out of your computer. Compatibility mode, for example, lets you run old software without issues. There’s also Game Mode, a feature that optimizes your device for improved gaming performance.
In this article, we’ll talk about Windows 10 Tablet mode and show you how it works. Windows 10 Tablet mode enhances your tablet or touchscreen-enabled laptop for convenient touch navigation. It changes some on-screen elements on your device’s interface so that it becomes more touch-friendly.
How to Enable Tablet Mode on Windows 10
Some hybrid laptops or convertible 2-in-1 devices will automatically enter Tablet mode when you fold or detach the keyboard. If your touchscreen or convertible laptop doesn’t do this, you can manually activate Windows 10 Tablet mode from the Windows Action Center.
1. Click the text bubble icon at the right corner of the taskbar (or press Windows key + A) to open the Action Center.
2. Select Tablet mode from the options.
The Tablet mode tile should be in the Action Center by default. If the option is missing, the tile is hidden, or you’ve hit the maximum number of quick actions that the Action Center can accommodate.
The Action Center can only accommodate a maximum of 16 quick actions. So, if the Tablet mode tile is missing, it’s most likely hidden in the Action Center. You’ll need to remove an item to make space for Tablet mode in the quick actions area.
Right-click any tile and select Edit quick actions.
Select the Add (+) icon and choose Tablet mode from the available options.
Select Done to save the changes. Can’t add Tablet mode because the quick actions area is occupied? Remove an item you barely use (tap the pushpin icon) and try adding Tablet mode again.
If you still can’t find the Tablet mode option when you edit the quick actions, your device probably doesn’t support Windows 10 Tablet mode. Update your tablet or laptop to the latest Windows 10 build and check again. You could also contact your PC manufacturer for support.
What Changes in Tablet Mode
We highlight some modifications that Tablet mode brings to your tablet or laptop. When Windows 10 Tablet mode is active, you’ll notice the following changes:
1. Redefined Taskbar
Tablet mode will hide apps and shortcuts pinned to the taskbar. A new search icon (which replaces the Windows Search bar) is introduced, as well as a Back button and a Task Viewer icon.
When you minimize an app, you’ll need to tap the Task View icon to restore the app or switch to another active app. The back button takes you to the previous page on the app or window.
If you want your pinned and active apps on the screen, unhide the taskbar from the Tablet mode settings menu. Go to Settings > System > Tablet mode and toggle off Hide app icons on the taskbar in tablet mode.
That’ll restore the taskbar to the bottom of the screen—or wherever it was before you activated Windows 10 Tablet mode. Another way to unhide taskbar icons in Tablet mode is to right-click or hold the taskbar and select Show app icons.
2. Persistent Start Menu
In Windows 10 Tablet mode, the Start menu becomes the home screen; Windows gets rid of the desktop. When you close an app, you’re redirected to a fullscreen version of the Start menu.
3. No Maximize/Restore Button
You cannot change the size of an app or window in Tablet mode. The Maximum/Restore icon becomes greyed out and unclickable. The closest you can get to changing an app size is via “Split Screen” mode. Drag or swipe down the app window until you see a divider in the middle of the screen.
Drag the app to either the left or right side of the screen to reduce its size. When you open a second app, Windows automatically pins the app window to the other side of the screen. To resize either of the apps, move the black divider to the left or right accordingly.
To close apps in split-screen arrangement, select the x icon on the title bar or drag the app window to the bottom of the screen.
4. Touch Keyboard
Look closely at the notifications area (the right end of the taskbar) and you’ll find a keyboard icon. That’s the Windows Touch Keyboard. The keyboard should automatically come on the screen when you tap a text box while in Windows 10 Tablet mode. If it doesn’t, click the keyboard icon in the notifications area to open the Touch Keyboard.
Alternatively, right-click or hold the task taskbar and select Show touch keyboard button.
Tablet Mode Settings on Windows 10
Windows tablets automatically enter Tablet mode when you power them on. For hybrid and convertible laptops, you’ll have to manually activate Windows 10 Tablet mode. Interestingly, Windows lets you configure your PC to automatically switch to Tablet mode when you sign in.
There are other interesting settings that’ll help you get the best out of Tablet mode. Head to Settings > System > Tablet mode and let’s have a look.
1. Tablet Mode Sign-In Options
Tap the “When I sign in” drop-down option and select Use tablet mode. That’ll direct Windows to automatically enable Tablet mode whenever you sign in or restart your PC.
“Use the appropriate mode for my hardware” is the default option. That puts Windows in the driving seat; Windows will enable Tablet mode only when you fold your hybrid laptop. The “Use desktop mode” option will boot your tablet or hybrid laptop—even when you fold the keyboard.
2. Tablet Mode Switching Behavior
If you set Tablet mode to come on automatically when you sign in, there’s an option to customize the switch behavior. “Always ask me before switching“ is the default setting.
When your PC boots, Windows will display a confirmation prompt before switching to Tablet mode. Select Yes on the prompt to activate Tablet mode immediately.
“Don’t ask me and always switch” will boot your device into Tablet mode without confirmation. Select “Don’t ask me and don’t switch” if you don’t want Windows to automatically activate Tablet mode or display a confirmation prompt.
Windows 10 Tablet Mode Simplified
These are the most important details of the Windows 10 Tablet mode. You can also use the feature on Windows PCs that aren’t touchscreen-enabled. The only difference is that you won’t be able to navigate the screen using your finger. To switch back to desktop mode, open the Action Center and tap Tablet mode.
