Can do nothing to get booted on a Surface Pro 4 tablet
I upgraded to 2016. I made a standard boot USB disk which works (only after you work out how to deal with SecureBoot (WHY is this not in the help)).
As an aside...The WInPE disk simply wont get made, after following hours of instructions and 3.3Gb downloads. This is ludricous. Other programs I trialled do this in a few minutes with ease. For another post..
My problem is booting with the default media on a usb stick brings up the rescue app just fine. But then it is paralysed. No mouse, no keyboard, no touch screen. How am I supposed to operate the resccue without an way to talk to the program? I am looking at it, but cant tell it what to do.
I am assuming this is a tablet-specific problem.

Thanks, an wired mouse seems to help.
This seems quite inadequate to me! Not only do I now have to carry a wired mouse, but also a USB hub (boot stick, mouse). My SP4 gets less and less portable every day...

Surface Pro 4 - the new macbook air :). Light and portable until you add all of the attachments to make it a fully functioning system again.
Honestly though, it's a nice piece of hardware, but a little hindered by lack of ports. The touch screen issue with other bootable media is normal (at least for now) because it's still a fairly new device which uses custom drivers only found in Windows 10 at the moment. We're prohibited from using Windows 10 at work until it's fully vetted by security so we tried to install Windows 8.1 as a work-a-round and found that the touch interface doesn't work there either, so I'm not suprised that you can't use it in Acronis bootable media (or any other bootable media for that matter). I found the same issue on my Aspire Swtich 10 and have trouble with my Asus T200 touch screen with a lot of bootable apps as well. For now, an external mouse and keyboard will have to do until the rest of the applications catch up with the one-of-a-kind, custom, proprietary, Microsoft hardware.
