Surface Detach Icon says Detached when it's not

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.

    I did all the steps. It said everything was successful! I restarted it and it was fine. I shut it down like I do every night. I just turned it on, and the camera wouldn't turn on and the detach button says detached?!!! UGH! This is SO frustrating!!!!!

    I went through that entire process, and I no longer have the integrity errors, but I still have the problems.
