    vinodh717689,

     

    If the problem did not exist before the upgrade, you can do a couple things:

     

    Ensure you have all the latest updates downlaoded and installed

    Go back to Windows 8

    Perform a refresh

    Perform a reset if you cannot perform the go back function

    I too have this issue, where the accelerometer sensor seems to be inverted. When purchased, the Acer Tab 8 W1-810 came with Windows 8.1. Rotation worked fine.

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10, and now when I rotate the tablet, the display is inverted. So if I rotate to landscape, the display is upside down, landscape the other way, same issue. Rotating to portrait also has the same issue in that the display rotates, but is upside down.

    I have also tried a refresh, and reset of Windows 10. At one point after the reset, all Acer drivers were removed, and I had to install the drivers from the Acer support site. That got everything working again except one "Unknown device" remained in Device Manager.

    As there was no Acer Driver for this, I got Windows 10 to go find the drives. It downloaded the BMA2x2 Bosch drivers for the acceleromter sensor. Rotation then began working, but is inverted.

    Surely Acer have a driver for this sensor?

     

    Thanks,

    Glenn
