How to wake up my Thinkpad in Tablet mode
Hi, I am using Lenovo Thinkpad X1 gen 6. When my laptop sleeps on tablet mode I am not able to wake it up until I change it to Laptop mode, Is there a way to wake it up on tablet mode without turni...
The other reply is not at all correct. There is a tablet mode in Windows 11 because the display changes when you flip the laptop. For anyone reading this, you can hold the power button down for several seconds and it will wake. Just don't hold it down for too long because that might force power down
Tablet mode I was referring to is the following:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-tablet-mode-on-or-off-add3fbce-5cb5-bf76-0f9c-8d7b30041f30
Like I mentioned earlier , it doesn't exists in Windows 11.
If user hold the power button for few second it will force shutdown the PC which is NOT recommended and it might damage the system.

I have a thinkpad windows 11 and I was using it in tablet mode when I responded to the original post. If you hold down the power button when the device is flipped into a tablet, it wakes the screen. I did it several times because I actually have this device. Thanks
- This tablet mode is a feature of the device and NOT Windows and it means if you install it on other tablet your might not see this feature and in this case, you need to check with Lenovo's support.
