Asus VivoTab 8 and Windows 10

Windows 10 has been working well on mine.. til today. Had a bunch of updates and now my wireless card, along with bluetooth, packs it in after a while.

 

W10 update of 08 Aug 17 disabled touch screen.
Reinstall SOC driver version 10E with mouse via bluetooth or cable/OTG.
For other problems try reinstalling
ATK package 100039
Wacom 7209
WLAN Broadcom 59310320

 

For people having problems with Windows 10 upgrading, I highly recommend you do a clean install, it runs MUCH better than an 8.1 -> 10 upgrade.

Use this to add the SoC drivers for the install itself so you can use the pen/touch to complete setup, then after installing, keep running Windows Update to get all drivers to the latest version from the catalog.

 

Dramatic performance improvement with 12.09.2017 W10 update. Caused touchscreen to start working too. I had thought I was going to have to check the ribbon/cable. (EDIT: I later discovered that the cable had too much padding/Sponge round it and the pressure of the back on these items was forcing the cable out of its socket, so it was a cable issue).

W10 updates sometimes cause the Touch keyboard to stop appearing at the login screen even when you touch the input field for your password.

You can still login by, on the login screen, selecting the dotted circle at bottom right and selecting On-screen Keyboard.

You can resolve the problem of the Touch keyboard not appearing by doing as follows.

Go to:
Settings > Devices > Typing
Make sure that the option 'Show the Touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there's no keyboard attached' is activated.
If the option is already activated, toggle it (switch it off and back on again), making sure to leave it activated

The Touch keyboard will now appear when you touch the input cell on the login screen.

Note:
1. The non-appearance of the Touch keyboard at the login screen may lead you to believe that the Touch screen itself is not working. This may not be the case. Try using your finger again after you have logged in and then proceed as above.
2. If the Touch screen definitely is not working, you will almost certainly be able to control your device with a cable mouse or a Bluetooth one if you have left Bluetooth permanently activated. You might also find that your pen will work. With both the mouse and the pen you can easily select the On-screen Keyboard on the login screen as described above and, after logging in, you can select the Touch keyboard from the icon next to the clock. If your icon is not activated, you can do this by going to Settings > Personalisation > Taskbar > Turn system icons on or off.

 

Last week's update seems to have demolished my OneDrive service. The steps here resolved it.

I posted a comment on answers.microsoft.com about the SOC driver in the updates being the wrong one. It might help if you were to log in and click 'I have the same question', since they probably won't take just my word for it.

Edit: I just heard from Microsoft. They said that we should now be using the Feedback Hub that is in the Start menu.

I have therefore now lodged my comment on the Feedback Hub and it is possible to leave a 'I have the same problem' click there as well. To find my comment in the Feedback Hub open the App and type
Vivotab wrong SOC driver
in the search cell.

 

Hi Guys,

I am new to here, I had a great AVNT8 too.

I have read all the posts to find the issue but I could find similar issue, could you please help.

I have installed the latest windows 10 on that clean install but I have an issue with pen and touch, they are working fine until I use both, means that like. When I draw by Pen if I touch the screen by finger both or at least one of them will be stop working till I restart the tablet or leave it to go to sleep and load it again.
even if I moving the files by hand and bring the pen near one of them will stop working. windows 10 will update the drivers by it self and I also installed any thin I found from ASUS too :-(

I have reloaded clean install windows 8.1 there is no issue. but when I am installing the windows 10 it will start playing up. cables has reset too.

I am happy to reinstall the windows 10 as clean again please let me know if I am doing any thing wrong or I have to install the specific driver.

Cheers,

 

Sounds like a driver issue. The following work for me in W10.

SOC driver version 10E
ATK package 100039
Wacom 7209

 

Did you install them in any specific order ? or did you install them after windows updates ?

Cheers,

 

Thanks
after clean install of the win10,
I followed the same order and also didnt connect the tablet to internet before installing them now is working perfectly thanks.
