Windows 10: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is stuck in tablet mode upside down with the keyboard locked!!

I have the Lenovo Flex 5 laptop that has a flipped screen and the keyboard and mouse functions are turned off. It seems to be stuck in tablet mode.Currently I have:- updated drivers- reinstalled windows- looked at Lenovo vantage for support- looked for a turn off tablet mode but because my laptop runs windows 11 you have removed that function. This would have solved the problem in my opinion.Unfortunately I am out of ideas as this has been stuck in this mode for weeks. It seems to go out of tablet mode when it is fully flipped around.

How to play Roblox in Tablet Mode with on-screen controls on Lenovo 2-in-1 IdeaPad Flex 5 with Windows 11

Hellol, we just bought a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 which is a 2-in-1 laptop/tablet which came with Windows 11. I can't make it play Roblox with on-screen controls (neither in desktop or tablet mode when you flip the display to the back). Strangely, we have an older Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 with Windows 10 which has on-screen controls and can play Roblox just by thumbs touch in both, desktop and tablet modes (without even turning on the Tablet Mode specifically which can be done on Windows 10 but it is automatic on Windows 11) . On both devices we use the Roblox app (not browser) downloaded from Roblox website. I can't find anything online how to make Roblox treat the newer laptop as tablet same as it is on the older laptop. Thank you for your help in advance!

 

Stuck in tablet mode - no keyboard or mouse functionality!

I have a 2 in 1 laptop and it wouldn't flip over (my usual tv watching mode)/go into tablet mode 2 days ago.

Yesterday I switched my laptop on and it is stuck in tablet mode - I can't use the keyboard/touchpad and the screen is expanded. I am having to type this on my screen and its so frustrating. It won't flip over (or change screen direction at all)

I have powered off and on a couple of times, installed an update, and asked it really nicely to work.

It is a Lenovo ideapad flex 5 if that makes any difference.

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I understand you're having trouble with your Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot:

1. Disable Tablet Mode: You can try to manually disable tablet mode. Here's how:

• Swipe in from the right edge of your screen to open the action center. If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Action Center.
  
• Click on "Tablet mode" to turn it off.
  

2. Check Physical Orientation Lock Button: Some 2-in-1 laptops have a physical orientation lock button, usually on one of the sides of the laptop. Make sure it's not in the locked position.

3. Update Device Drivers: Outdated or corrupted drivers could cause this issue. You can try updating the drivers, especially the ones related to display and input devices. You can do this through the Device Manager or by visiting Lenovo's official website and downloading the latest drivers for your specific model.

4. Lenovo Vantage: Lenovo Vantage is a tool provided by Lenovo that can help you manage your device settings. You can download it from the Microsoft Store if you don't already have it installed. Once you've installed it, look for settings related to tablet mode and orientation.

5. Contact Lenovo Support: If none of the above suggestions work, you might want to contact Lenovo Support for further assistance. They could provide more specific guidance based on your exact model and configuration.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
