If you are running Windows 10 then you may have encountered the famous Realtek bug after updating to the Creators Update. New drivers should help (not the ones from Acer).

No, that's not possible. The physical connections are different. The pen isn't working either with the Acer Switch Alpha 12.

If you search for an alternative keyboard/cover for the Acer Switch Alpha 12 then you will have no luck. I searched also for a replacement, because the original Acer keyboard/cover has a disconnection bug, but found only original Acer hardware. The price of such original keyboard/cover is very high.

This isn't a hardware fault it's more a driver issue. It seems the keyboard is going to sleep for a second and loses its connection or enters sleep mode. The first times I resolved this random disconnects was by physically disconnecting the keyboard from the tablet. This is annoying in the long-term. Now I found out you…

On my 4 GB machine with SSD it makes no difference to my desktop PC with AMD FX8350 and 16 GB. But with larger build projects on the local machine you will have to use a build server. My Intel Core i5 has only two physical cores it takes ages to build a nine project solution. But working with Visual Studio 2017 is the same…

Exactly what processor is build in? The are many models.

If you click the word "All" on the driver side (default are the most current drivers) than all other drivers will show up. That means older drivers.

Maybe a little bit late but for others with the same question. OpenGL ist enabled by default. There is nothing to switch on.

Ich habe das Acer Aspire V3-772G Notebook mit Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64bit) und dem Creators Edition Update im Einsatz. Tatsächlich gab es während der Installation diverse Bildfehler mit wildem Flackern aber das war nach dem nächsten Neustart auch wieder weg. Zur Zeit läuft das Gerät völlig ohne Macken mit eben…

Wenn die blaue LED des Einschaltknopfs auch nicht mehr leuchtet bzw. überhaupt nicht mehr sichtbar ist, dass das Gerät eingeschaltet ist, könnte es auch am Netzteil liegen. Es liefert möglicherweise nur noch sehr kurzzeitig den benötigten Strom und bricht dann zusammen, weil es die Leistung nicht mehr dauerhaft bringen…

Aspire Switch 12 | Laptops - An intuitive and immersive 5-in-1 notebook | Acer Designed for all-round durability, the Aspire Switch 12 uses next generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass to protect the display and has a latch-less magnetic keyboard connector tab design for easy mode switching, while offering a sturdy mechanical…

It's an old post but maybe someone want to know the same. As far as I know the Acer Switch Alpha 12 is using Gorilla Glass 4 from 2014.

Yes and yes. I upgraded from Home to Pro and installed Visual Studio 2017 RC with the whole SQL-server software.

That's bad news. I was hoping I could exchange the Acer stylus with the Surface stylus. It may be the Acer stylus itself or the Switch Alpha 12 that is producing a light line waving if you draw a line.

Are you sure that the Microsoft Surface Pen will not work with the Acer Switch Alpha 12? I thought this is only a matter of bringing the Wintab driver to work? A passive pen is working flawlessly by the way, passive pens seem to work.

Did you install any driver for your internal components? Especially the Intel graphics driver should be the latest available. Unfortunately the drivers on the Acer device support website not always recent. Furthermore you should have installed the latest BIOS of your device, it's mostly better to upgrade to the latest BIOS…

In most cases it's always recommended to upgrade a computers BIOS to the latest version available. With a few exceptions, if the new BIOS is causing problems for example. In your case it would be better to have a more recent BIOS installed if you want to operate Windows 10. So to answer your question: no, upgrading your…

I would recommend to update first your BIOS to version 1.04 and after that to update the keyboard firmware to version 099. All files you need you will find on the specific Acer device support website. Especially the keyboard firmware could solve your problem.

Yes you can. I upgraded my Acer Switch Alpha 12 from Home to Professional without a problem. It could be the case that you encounter a free space problem during the update process but that depends on the size of your harddisk.

I own the Acer Switch Alpha 12 with Intel Core i5 processor and I can watch every YouTube video in HD quality without interruption. So it may be your processor or the less powerfull GPU of the Intel Core i3 or you are in the wrong WLAN band/channel and your network is the problem. If you can play a high quality video from…
