Acer Tablet Pc Windows 10

One of the biggest things that annoys users about Windows 8 is its all-or-nothing Start screen. Windows 10 tries to fix that problem with a separate full-screen tablet mode that it hopes will soothe angry desktop users.

Tablet mode is a new feature that should automatically activate (if you want it to) when you detach a tablet from its base or dock. The Start menu then goes full screen as do Windows Store apps and Settings.

Continuum Windows 10 loves all shapes and sizes. With Continuum, you’ll have a great Windows 10 experience on a phone, tablet, desktop or TV. Continuum resizes and adjusts your apps and content to fit the size of the display you’re using. You can even switch between Desktop and Tablet mode for a better experience on both.

It’s also important to note that in tablet mode, the Desktop is unavailable. When you open for example, File Explorer, it will only appear maximized. So, tablet mode is truly a mode in which the Start screen is where you will spend most of your time interacting with Windows.

If you’re on a desktop with a proper keyboard and mouse, then you will be able to use the Start menu, which can be resized and adjusted to fit your needs and whims.

If you want to try out tablet mode because you have a touchscreen or you want to configure its behavior, then you can manually turn it on and make adjustments.

You first need to open the Settings and then the “System” group, then tap the on/off button under the “Make Windows more touch-friendly …” heading to enter or leave tablet mode.

You can also configure which mode your device assumes when you sign in, as well what your device should do when it wants to automatically switch tablet mode on or off.

In tablet mode, the most striking aspect will be that the Start menu is now the Start screen, similar to Windows 8.

Note that the icons on the taskbar will change, leaving you only with a back button, the search icon, and the virtual desktops button.

If you want your app icons to appear on the taskbar in tablet mode, you can show or hide them in the “Tablet mode” settings.

Full-screen mode in Windows 10 is a lot less annoying than it was in Windows 8 because now you can access you apps, folders, and settings with just a simple click of your mouse button.

You can also click the “All apps” button in the bottom-left corner to see and launch any of your installed applications.

Remember, in tablet mode, the desktop won’t be available though you will be able to still access the desktop folder through File Explorer. Otherwise you can use your computer and all its applications as you normally would.

The advantage to tablet mode will obviously be that it’s far more appropriate to touchscreens because of all the big targets it provides for our fat fingers. The one big caveat for most people may still be the fact that you’re dealing with the Start screen as the primary interface, though it does retain enough desktop elements that it will hopefully not be too confusing for most users.

FAQ & Answers

Acer Tablet Windows 10

  • once connected the tab or smartphone, can you check on device manager if they are listed?

    windows key logo + x

    choose Device manager

    by the way, those devices use MTP communication via USB, so windows must recognise them without issues, since it's a basic driver.

  • I did that, and still nothing. Do you have an idea what category it would be under in device manager? I checked them all, and didn't see anything, but you never know. I just plugged another tablet into the same cord/port and windows responded like it was suppose to.

  • normally under storage if i remember correctly.

  • I found my sony phone under 'portable devices'. I searched for updates and it said it was UTD and that the device was not connected, when it is. No trace of the Acer phone and tablet at all.

  • Yes Sony uses UTD.
    Acer used mass storage on old devices and MTP on new devices.
    It's strange that they are missing from any list, have you tried different USB ports and cables?

    1. Select 'Start' on your computer and enter 'Device Manager' in the search box. Select Device Manager from the list of returns.
    3. Press and hold (or right-click) the USB external hard drive with the problem and select Uninstall.
    4. After removing the hard drive, unplug the USB cable.
    5. Wait 3 minutes and then reconnect the USB cable. The driver should load automatically.
    6. Check if the USB drive is back to normal in Windows Explorer.
