I found these registry keys to change the first two tablet mode settings:
Tablet mode settings are found in the registry under [HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell]
Key: TabletMode
0 = Off
1 = On
Key: SignInMode:
0 = "Automatically switch to Tablet Mode"
1 = "Go to the desktop"
2 = "Remember what I used last"
But I can't find any key for the "When this device automatically switches tablet mode on or off'
Does anyone know what setting I need to control this?

Hi TrentQu,
My apology for misunderstanding.
Do you mean the registry key to control this one?
Add this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell]
"ConvertibleSlateModePromptPreference"=dword:
"0"="Don't ask me"
"1" ="Always ask me before switching"
"2" ="Don`t ask me and always switch"
Best regards

Hi TrentQu,
Would you please share us more details of the main issue?
" "When this device automatically switches tablet mode on or off'"
Do you mean the tablet mode configuration will be changed automatically?
As far as I know, that registry key(HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\TabletMode) is the only one to control the behavior of tablet mode. We should sign out to make it take effect.
If that option was changed automatically, we could try to audit the that registry key to capture the culprit.

Hi TrentQu,
Have you referred to my suggestions to have a troubleshoot?
In addition, we could perform a clean boot to troubleshoot whether it is caused by a third party service.

I'm not sure what you mean? This is standard on all the Surface Books we just got and brand new installs. I am wanting to control this setting via Group Policy or a registry key, can you tell me what key control that second dropdown menu in the screenshot I provided previously.
