Windows 11 Tablet Mode Auto Switcher



About the Project

For Windows 11 2-in-1 devices such as Surface X, when the accompanying keyboard is not attached, the desktop mode cannot be activated even if an external keyboard is connected.
This project aims to solve this problem by automatically switching to desktop mode when an external keyboard is connected, and reverting to tablet mode when it is disconnected.

Software Features

  • Automatically switch tablet mode when an external keyboard is connected/disconnected
  • Support for automatic startup at boot
  • Support for manually toggling tablet mode on/off

About the Principle

Tablet mode in Windows 11 cannot be turned off via Settings, Control Panel, or the Action Center; it can only be switched by modifying the registry.

Disable tablet mode:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]
"ConvertibleSlateMode"=dword:00000001

Enable tablet mode:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]
"ConvertibleSlateMode"=dword:00000000
