    SSnaith,

     

    I would perform a system restore to before the updates were installed to revert it back, then try again.

    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

    Ok, I managed to fix the problem. The Windows 10 Intel IO driver doesn't work properly, and you get the upside down screen issue.

    The solution is to install the Windows 8 Intel IO drivers instead, and all is well :-)

    I've not fixed the issue. The problem with the upside down screen is the Windows 10 Intel IO drivers do not work properly.

     

    Install the Windows 8 Intel IO drivers from the Acer support site, and all is well :-)
