Once upon a time, a student brought in her laptop which wouldn't load the desktop. Instead, it loaded the tile screen reminiscent of Windows 8.

Anyways, it turns out it was in Tablet Mode, a new feature of Windows 10. If this is on, you cannot access the desktop, the taskbar icons will disappear, and it will be confusing for people who don't have touch-tablets. The Windows Key + D will not work either.

This will come up instead of the desktop. To change it back to regular use, you'll have to access the Settings by clicking on the windows icon in the bottom left-hand corner.

Here's a nice link on how to do that. CLICK ME!!
