Note: Windows 11 doesn’t have a Tablet mode with Live Tiles similar to Windows 10. Other than this, you can also accidentally enable it by pressing the Tablet mode shortcut in the Windows action center. It signals to the OS that “touch” is currently the default input, and so it turns on Tablet mode.
Tablet mode is automatically enabled if you have a Windows 2-in-1 laptop/tablet and detach the keyboard. The idea was that using fingers to touch tiles is more straightforward and intuitive than touching small icons in cramped spaces. With Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the Tablet mode – a feature designed to make your desktop more touch-friendly. Disabling this feature should solve your problem. If yes, the problem is related to a feature called Tablet Mode.
Do you see Live Tiles – square or rectangular tiles, instead of regular icons on your Windows 10 desktop?
