How can I turn off tablet mode Windows 10?

11

I have currently updated my machine to Windows 10 and wanted to explore tablet mode. However, I do not know how to turn it off once I turn it on.

I am a bit afraid that my desktop will get “stuck” on tablet mode.

How do I quit tablet mode in Windows 10?

Option doesn't exist in "Settings" app anymore. I hate Microsoft so much... – jdk1.0 – 2020-01-31T04:04:35.410

Playing around in Tablet mode, I found this way to get back to Windows mode: Start > Control Panel > System & Security > Security & Maintenance > Recovery > PC Settings > (Find a Setting) - type in Tablet Mode >

5This seems to be just a slower way of editing exactly the same setting that the accepted answer already does. – David Richerby – 2015-08-02T15:08:37.353
