Weird Touchscreen Issue

Hello everyone! So I got a Trekstor Tablet that had to be formatted to install from scratch Windows 10 because the upgraded installation from Windows 7 was pretty bad and the internal storage was full (16GB only). I installed everything, almost all the drivers installed but the one that’s needed for the touchscreen to work. I donwloaded the driver straight from the company site and is clearly labeled for Windows 10. Trying to install it in any possible way doesent’ work (different mix of compatibility mode, execution as system administrator and trough the device manager). Windows update tries to install a driver but every time I reboot the tablet the system decides to install it again. All this installations result succesful but does that over and over again. After looking around in the internet I find a driver that installs, touchscreen works but it’s off in the vertical space by more than half of the screen and horizontal by a small amout (with the screen horizontal, but looks like if I press really high that the touch are registered almost correctly). I go through the calibration process but the calibration has no effect whatsoever even if saved correctly by the system. The drivers provided by the manufacturer and the ones I found on the internet looked almost identical so I tried to merge the files to see if I could install it but nope, that didn’t work. Looked up again on the internet but couldn’t find anything. So now I’m here, asking you tech heads to try and help me else I’ll need to send back (fortunately for free) something that’s not working for a stupid thing.

DETAILS: Trekstor Wintron 7.0 model ST70416-6, touchscreen hardware ID MSSL1680 made by Silead, Windows 10 Home 32bit, nothing but Windows updates installed.

Display scaling can mess with stuff like that - make sure display scaling is off.

Is off, the screen is only 1280*600 if I recall correctly. If not the horizontal resolution is almost that and the vertical one is surely 600.

have you tried installing the drivers from safe mode?

I didn't actually. Also I don't know how to enter it on a tablet. I need the keyboard right?
The installation process would be the same?

should be the same. it was changed from win7 to make it more tablet friendly but less pc friendly

you might need a keyboard though not sure.

Nope, it didn't work.

Just as an option, let's try to install it from the official Windows archive again. Sometimes there's a bug with the installation that doesn't occur as often now as with windows 7/8.1, have you tried going into 'C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution' and deleting the 'Downloads' folder (and restarting)? If it didn't work, try deleting the entire 'SoftwareDistribution' folder.
