7140 power button and Win 10
Does short pressing the power button actually do anything for those of you with a 7140 running Win 10?
I did a clean install and noticed that my power button does nothing. Well, not quite true... it will start the tablet and holding it down will force a reboot. It just seems to not actually trigger an event when simply short pressed.
And yes, I've checked the power options and set the behavior to both sleep and hibernate to no effect.
No Events found!

OK, for anyone who is having this problem, it seems to stem from a few missing chipset drivers that Dell has not released for the 7140 running Win 10. Just install the 8.1 versions as documented in the linked post and the ACPI event seems to work as it should.
