Hello All,
I bought a new tablet two days ago and instantly went and installed Windows 10 once I made sure it worked.
After installing Windows 10 I've lost some functionality.
With regards to the physical buttons on the tablet, I went through device manager looking for anything relating to the GPIO Buttons. I found "GPIO Buttons Driver" and "Sideband GPIO Buttons Injection Device". Both are listed as working.
Strangely, I also found a keyboard installed. Its listed as "HID Keyboard Device" and in the driver properties, it says its location is "on GPIO Buttons Driver". So I assume Windows has mapped the physical buttons to a keyboard driver, but I can't trigger any key inputs with the on-screen keyboard or text editor such as notepad.
All of these functions worked in Windows 8.1 that came pre-installed. I cannot roll-back the system to 8.1 as the update to Win10 replaced the Win8 recovery partition with its own. I don't want to return the tablet to the manufacturer since they'll just re-image it with Windows 8 again, rather than fix the issues with Windows 10.
System:
Windows 10 32-bit
Intel Atom Z3735G with associated Intel HD Bay-Trail graphics
1GB DDR-3 1333MHz RAM
32GB SSD

- The Capacitive "Win" button and physical volume buttons no longer work (more on this below).
- There is no auto-rotate option in the display settings, even though Device Manager can see the sensor (Kionix KXCJ9 Accelerometer SPB)
- Camera is finicky. Each boot it fails to work unless I select "Update Driver" in device manager and choose the exact same driver from my local disk. Its listed as "Intel Imaging Signal Processor 2400".
