I've installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 bootcamp on a 13inch Macbook Pro 2016 and I've got this strange issue where the screen will only switch on if you are touching the touch pad, any ideas?

I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft it's the latest 1607 Pro and just used the normal Bootcamp wizard letting it install all the drivers.

Some sort of weird power setting?

I suspect so, I've tried looking at all the settings and can't seem to find anything, I've set brightness to full on everything I can find even the dim brightness settings.

At the moment I am systematically uninstalling drivers until I find the issue.

Has it always happened? No issues on mine. I would just reinstall? (Open BootCamp Assistant again)

Since from the start yeah, it's a fresh install, I don't really want to go that route as I suspect it will most likely just happen again? If push comes to shove I can do it but I suspect it's some setting somewhere? does the OS X transfer some settings to the Windows? is there anyway I can uninstall bootcamp drivers on the Windows 10 and reinstall them again?

I think if you open Boot Camp Assistant you can choose download support software from one of the top menus
