Summary
Windows 10's Tablet Mode provides a more touch-friendly experience by making all applications run at full screen (rather than in windows) and giving you a Start screen instead of a Start Menu. If you have a 2-in-1 device, Windows 10 asks you if you want to enter tablet mode every time you convert your notebook into a slate.

"Show hidden icons" is not visible in Windows Taskbar. Enabling Tablet mode removes "show hidden icons" from Widows Taskbar. Disabling Tablet mode restores "show hidden icons."
