I recently needed to clean up my boot drive and reinstall Windows 10, but my computer keeps acting like it’s a laptop. No matter how many times I try, it still thinks it’s a laptop. Someone can help me out.

Sure, this means asking for a clarification or an explanation about something.

It identifies the device as a laptop based on its operating system, hardware configuration, and typical usage patterns. The presence of specific apps, browser settings, and system features aligns with laptop characteristics rather than mobile devices. This conclusion comes from analyzing the environment and capabilities associated with laptops.

Is it similar to displaying a battery icon in the taskbar?

I recall when using Windows 95, you could change the system to appear as a laptop. That feature hasn’t been available for more than ten years.

Assuming tablet mode is active, the system should recognize it as a tablet. Navigate to Settings > System > Tablet Mode and disable it. If not, checking the task bar for a battery indicator might suggest it's connected to a UPS.
