  1. Lens mode are only available as part of the Aero experience. If your computer doesn’t support Aero, or if you’re using a theme other than an Aero theme, Magnifier will only work in docked mode.

  2. Generally, the Magnifier appears to be largely dependent on the Aero graphics engine, meaning that it works well when Aero color themes are used. However, when a user switches to a high contrast color scheme such as High Contrast Black, the OS dumps the user back into the old Magnifier feature which, by default, shows a small magnification bar at the top of the screen.” If it is the case, only the docked option is enabled on the magnifier. Thus I would like to recommend you to check Aero themes and make sure that it is enabled.
