If your screen is stuck in landscape mode, you are likely missing the G-Sensor Driver.
Assuming you have already downloaded the .zip or .exe driver files from Acer’s support site, follow these steps:
Step 1: Extract all drivers to a folder on your desktop, e.g., C:\W3_Drivers.
Step 2: Install the Chipset driver first. Run Setup.exe if available. Reboot.
Step 3: Install the Intel Graphics driver. This is crucial. If Windows uses a basic Microsoft display driver, you will experience screen tearing.
Step 4: Install the Intel DPTF (Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework). Without this, the tablet overheats and throttles to 200MHz—unusable.
Step 5: Install Sensors (Accelerometer). This enables auto-rotation.
Step 6: Install Touchscreen driver. Note: Do not touch the screen during installation; use a USB mouse.
Step 7: Install Audio, Wi-Fi/BT, Camera, and Card Reader in any order.
Step 8: Restart the tablet twice. The first restart loads the services; the second restart fully initializes touch and rotation.
After a fresh install, you might see an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark. This usually relates to the I2C controller, which manages the touchscreen.
