After installing system updates on 02/17/16 for Windows 10, the Surface Detach icon in the taskbar is grayed out and when I mouse over it, it says "Surface Detach: Detached" when it's actually attached and connected to the keyboard. Keyboard works fine but when I try to detach, I have to hold the keyboard detach button for over 10 seconds before the light turns green and I hear the detach sound.
Also, since this started happening, after detaching, the screen no longer rotates in Tablet Mode. Tried locking and unlocking Autorotation and nothing will rotate the screen anymore.
Not sure if these two problems are related.

FYI, your problems can likely be resolved by disabling fast startup. We are still waiting on an update from MS.
A thread with all the info is here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfbook-surfdrivers/surface-detach-icon-says-detached-when-its-not/ad26d787-56f1-4553-9c71-dbd3fcafb59d
it won't let me unattach it so i can clean the pins off so it won't have this problem again for like... a week
does anyone know how to fix this? it's getting really annoying because it's hard to do art when it's in laptop mode and the battery sucks in the first place and it sucks even more now.
seriously though, i've had this computer for a month and it's only had problems. the only good thing about it is that it can run skyrim at like medium quality which is nice.
