    Bei TrakStore ist nur “Neustarten” möglich. Das Tablet arbeitet dann aber genauso, wie als würde “Reset” angezeigt. Deutsche Spracheinstellung.

    Did not work on ROTOR tablet (without integrated keyboard) - at some point the crap tablet entered EFI shell - and does not react on external keyboard. Now - stuck in EFI shell. Only wanted to restore original windows setting, as one of the windows updates resulted in a non-working on-screen-keyboard (and also refusing external keyboard) after logging in...

    Ingo Zoller - Reply

    Not sure what the Autor means by "reset" the tablet after tapping SHIFT. My only conclusion would be to switch it off at the power button...And this does not bring me to trouble shooting mode.
