The Deeq X5 is not a mass-market device like Dell or HP laptops. Generic Windows drivers often fail to recognize the proprietary GPIO, I2C touchscreen, or the specific audio codec (often Realtek ALC5640 or similar). Without correct drivers:

Q6: The touchscreen driver from Deeq is not signed – how to install? Boot Windows into “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” mode: Windows 10 and Windows 11 share the same
Solution: Impossible to fix. Switch to Windows 10 or Linux.
